A jury started deliberating on Friday, but Rakoff was acting on a rule that allows him to dismiss a case if he believes that the plaintiff had failed to prove central aspects of its case. Rakoff said that, because his decision is likely to be appealed, he would not file his ruling until the jury reaches its verdict.

7. Two Supreme Court justices, Gorsuch and Thomas, have hinted they want to change NYT v. Sullivan

This case was designed to get to the SCOTUS to try to overturn NYT v. Sullivan




The case — the first libel lawsuit against the Times to go to trial in the United States in nearly 20 years — holds the potential to upend decades of precedent that have offered broad protections to media organizations when writing about public figures......

Yet two Supreme Court justices, Neil M. Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, have hinted that they would like to revisit the logic of Sullivan, meaning that even a loss in this trial could send shock waves through the media industry if an appeal makes its way to the high court.

Beyond the legal issues, the courtroom phase of this case is shining a not-always-flattering light on editing practices within one of the most prestigious media outlets in the world.
