Supreme Court won’t help Roy Moore preserve $8.2M defamation award

The Supreme Court refused to block the release of an $8.2 million jury verdict in favor of Roy Moore, a Republican politician, against a Democratic super PAC. The 11th Circuit had earlier overturned the verdict, ruling the PAC's ad, which implied Moore solicited sex from a 14-year-old girl, constituted a negligent error rather than actual malice.
