Jurors in Sarah Palin’s defamation suit against The New York Times will return to their deliberations on Monday.
Lawyers for Ms. Palin and The Times gave their closing arguments on Friday and handed the case to the jury. The suit is a rare instance of a defamation case against a large news organization going to trial. Its outcome will be closely watched by First Amendment experts, press freedom watchdogs and lawyers who have argued that media organizations enjoy too much protection under current libel laws.
