Jury finds that Sarah Palin failed to prove her defamation case against the New York Times
CNN
The New York Times has prevailed in defending itself against a defamation lawsuit brought by Sarah Palin after jurors found she had not proven her case.
The jury of nine, which has been deliberating since Friday afternoon, found the New York Times not liable for Palin's defamation suit against the paper.
Unbeknownst to them, during deliberations, Rakoff ruled that Palin's attorneys did not prove a key element of their case, and that he would set aside the jury's verdict should it have found for Palin.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
