Sarah Palin makes libel claims against The New York Times to a new jury
NEW YORK (AP) - Sarah Palin's 8-year-old defamation claims against The New York Times were being heard anew Tuesday by a Manhattan jury after they were revived by an appeals court last year.
Lawyers for the one-time Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate and the newspaper told the civil jury that they will show through testimony and exhibits how a 2017 editorial was written and corrected.
Palin has asserted that the newspaper defamed her by falsely linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting.
In his opening statement, attorney Shane Vogt told jurors that the newspaper had engaged in a "sickeningly familiar pattern" by targeting a popular Republican personality.
