Judge Eric Davis ruled earlier that #Newsmax did indeed #defame Denver-based #DominionVotingSystems by airing false information [ #lies] about the company & its equipment. But Davis left it to a #jury to eventually decide whether that was done with #malice, &, if so, how much #Dominion deserved from Newsmax in #damages. Newsmax & Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place.
The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the #SEC.

The settlement comes after #FoxNews paid $787.5M to settle a similar #defamation lawsuit in 2023 & #Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40M to settle a #libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, #Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump #ConspiracyTheories on the network.

Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.

In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.
Hankison faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

STORIES OF JURY NULLIFICATION

“I'have been on juries pretty often [over] the last

10 years. I'm in Saint Louis and especially after the
Ferguson uprising, I've tried to get [my fellow jurors]
to reconsider their own bias and how we often insert
our own experience erroneously especially in regards to
race and crime. I find gently asking questions about
assumptions folks make to be pretty useful. Asking
folks if their goal is punishment, protection for the
vulnerable or rehabilitation can allow me to slide in
word tracks about abolition without people realizing
what Iam doing. And, of course, being prepared to be
the hold out and explaining why I am, gently and in a
granular way, can get others to join me.”
