Lawyers for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are seeking a new trial on her defamation claims against The New York Times, along with a Manhattan judge's removal from the case.
Rakoff said the jurors repeatedly assured his law clerk that pop-up news notifications on their phones about the judge’s ruling did not affect their deliberations.
After lawyers for Palin asked to make their requests in a 50-page written submission, the judge said each side could file papers of the same length after he issues a written opinion next week explaining why he decided he was tossing out the case regardless of the verdict returned by the jury.
