SARAH PALIN GETS A DO-OVER IN HER DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE NYTIMES BUT SHE HAS TO STAY IN FRONT OF THE SAME JUDGE WHO CAUSED THE APPEAL AND RETRIAL
This is a crazy defamation lawsuit. Sarah Palin sued the NY Times for defamation, but WHILE THE JURY WAS DELIBERATING that trial judge publicly stated that there was no evidence of actual malice, and thus he would dismiss the case as a matter of law. The jury wasn't present for these statements, but the press was and jurors learned of the judge's comments from cell phone push notifications. They jurors weren't looking for information about the case, but they received it automatically without asking.
The trial judge -- who unquestionably had a major lapse in judgment -- refused to grant a new trial. But alas, the Second Circuit said otherwise.
CA2 reversed for a new trial. Surprisingly, it REFUSED to disqualify the trial judge so Sarah Palin will have here day in court, again, but with the same judge who caused this issue.
CA2 got it 100% right by ordering a retrial but 100% wrong but refusing to disqualify the judge. The appearance of bias and impropriety here is too strong to not disqualify. Perhaps the trial judge will do so on his own.
I can think of one small but nationwide firm that is missing from this list...
