Sarah Palin and the New York Times (NYT.N) are headed back to a courtroom where the formser Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate will try convincing a second jury the newspaper defamed her in an editorial about gun control.
A retrial in Palin’s nearly eight-year-old lawsuit is scheduled to begin on Monday in Manhattan federal court. …
The lawsuit stemmed from a June 14, 2017 editorial, “America’s Lethal Politics,” that wrongly suggested Palin may have incited a January 2011 mass shooting in an Arizona parking lot.
Six people died in the shooting, and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was seriously wounded.
[Former New York Times editorial page editor James] Bennet had added language – he said under deadline pressure – identifying a “clear” link between the shooting and a map from Palin’s political action committee that put Giffords and other Democrats under crosshairs.
While the Times quickly corrected the editorial and apologized, Palin said the reputational harm and mental anguish she suffered justify compensatory and punitive damages.

Good, I hope Governor Palin gets at least as much. As Fox News was forced to pay when they lost their case.
