Update: Judge wins Libel Suit

You may remember back in December, JustLeft brought you the story of a Judge that sued a newspaper for libel

Well, it turns out the jury found in favor of him to the tune of 2.1 million dollars. Since the judge was a public figure, that means the jury had the believe the herald knew they were publishing lies.

Of course, this is just step 1. An appeal is surely on its way and, I imagine, the possibility of a supreme court run which, honestly, is when this will get very interesting.
