   Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin returns to court Monday   
   for a retrial of her libel case against The New York Times related to a   
   2017 editorial that falsely, or mistakenly, linked her to a mass shooting   
   six years earlier in which then-Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was   
   critically wounded.   
      
   The Times admitted that the editorial was inaccurate, but corrected it and   
   called it an "honest mistake."   
      
   In the first trial, in 2022, nine jurors unanimously decided the newspaper   
   could not be held liable for the editorial, which falsely linked her   
   campaign rhetoric to the mass shooting.   
      
   However, Judge Jed S. Rakoff, in Manhattan, rejected Palin’s claims in a   
   ruling issued while a jury deliberated. The judge then let jurors deliver   
   their verdict, which went against Palin, according to the Associated   
   Press.   
      
   The trial, expected to last a week, comes after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court   
   of Appeals restored the case last year. Jury selection is scheduled to   
   begin Monday morning.   
      
   Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander thinks the newspaper will prevail   
   in the retrial.   
      
   “That reference was an unintended error, and quickly corrected," he said.   
   "We’re confident we will prevail and intend to vigorously defend the   
   case."   
      
   Palin, a onetime Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska   
   governor, says the editorial damaged her reputation and career.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.
