Judges signal they’ll revive Sarah Palin defamation lawsuit

NEW YORK — A federal appeals panel seems poised to reinstate a defamation lawsuit Sarah Palin brought against The New York Times.

A three-judge panel found it unusual that a judge tossed the lawsuit last year after hearing testimony from a single witness.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel heard oral arguments Friday. It didn’t immediately rule.

The onetime Republican vice-presidential nominee sued the newspaper over an editorial titled “America’s Lethal Politics.”
