.LevinsonJessica: It seems Dominion’s decision to settle its case against Fox News comes with a hefty price tag, but no on-air apologies.
Reminder: Fox News is preparing for another potential defamation trial in a multibillion-dollar lawsuit filed by Smartmatic. Like Dominion, Smartmatic has accused the network of broadcasting lies that its voting technology engaged in 2020 election fraud.And earlier this month, Fox News said it reached a settlement with Venezuelan businessman Majed Khalil, who had filed a defamation suit accusing the network of promoting falsehoods that he helped rig the election against Trump.
Whatever was behind the juror's statement apparently convinced Judge Davis it wasn’t worth risking. Some judges are stricter than others about excusing jurors or prospective jurors, but if someone doesn’t think they can sit for the trial — or at least says they can’t — even if only an alternate, better to learn that now than later and seat someone more solid.
Before breaking for lunch, Judge Davis reminded the lawyers that their opening statements should be just that: statements, not arguments. But savvy lawyers know that, while the judge is technically correct, opening statements provide an opportunity to make at least an implicit argument to the jury. So, whatever label is slapped on the words about to come out of the lawyers’ mouths this afternoon, they’re crucial and could set the tone for the weeks of evidence to come.Jessica Levinson
