Sarah Palin's bid to sue to The New York Times for libel has once again failed after a judge rejected her request for a new case, saying she failed to produce "even a speck" of evidence to prove actual malice. Understanding that high bar, Ms Palin's attorneys attempted to argue that the judge in the first trial made procedural errors that should invalidate the first trial's results. The judge disagreed, saying "none of these [complaints] was erroneous" and said they did not provide evidence enough to support granting Ms Palin a new trial. Ms Palin sued the Times over a 2017 editorial that incorrectly linked a map from her campaign to mass shooting. The jurors who heard the case ultimately agreed and ruled against Ms Palin's lawsuit the next day.
