阿拉巴马州一个八人陪审团裁定《纽约时报》因刊登关于大学篮球运动员凯·斯皮尔斯参与致命枪击事件的虚假报道而构成诽谤，判处该报社赔偿920万美元1。这是《纽约时报》超过50年来在美国首次因文章内容败诉的诽谤诉讼1。
经过为期九天的审判，陪审团认定这份不准确的报道给斯皮尔斯造成了情感伤害，并将其与2023年1月发生的谋杀事件永久关联1。尽管《纽约时报》在数天后发布了编者注对报道进行了更正1，但陪审团仍认定损害已经造成。《纽约时报》发言人查理·施塔德兰德表示1："我们对陪审团因为一个诚实的错误而判定《时报》有责任感到失望。"
An eight-person jury in Alabama determined that The New York Times defamed college basketball player Kai Spears by publishing an inaccurate account linking him to a fatal shooting, awarding him $9.25 million in damages 1. The newspaper had issued a correction through an editor's note days after the original article appeared, but jurors concluded that the erroneous reporting caused Spears emotional harm and permanently associated him with a murder case 1.
The incident stemmed from a shooting in January 2023 that resulted in the death of a 23-year-old mother 1. Spears filed his defamation lawsuit in 2023 following the Times' coverage 1. The nine-day trial culminated in the jury's verdict that the publication bore liability for the mistaken story 1.
Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times, stated: "We're disappointed the jury found The Times liable for an honest mistake" 1. According to reporting, this marks the first defamation lawsuit resulting in a loss for The New York Times in the United States over a period exceeding 50 years 1.
