Supreme Court refuses to revive Roy Moore's $8.2M defamation award
Original: Supreme Court rejects Roy Moore's push to restore $8.2M defamation verdict
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear Roy Moore's effort to restore the $8.2 million defamation verdict he won against a satirical news outlet, a judgment that was thrown out by a lower court. The decision leaves Moore without the damages, closing a years-long legal fight that stemmed from spoof articles mocking his 2017 Senate campaign.
Why now: The Supreme Court just declined the case, delivering a final loss for Moore in a high-profile defamation fight.
