So it's in this judge's personal interest that there be no libel against Zimmerman, because if there were then it justifies the not guilty verdict in her court and shows how she was biased in her rulings against him.

The original article has been updated, and includes this:
“The judge this morning threw out the claim that NBC and employee Jeff Burnside defamed Zimmerman in a March 19, 2012, broadcast. Zimmerman can’t claim he was wronged by that report, the judge said, because his letter to the network never identified that specific broadcast and he never gave notice to Burnside.
“The other broadcasts were on March 20 (two separate newscasts), March 22 and March 27.
The judge said she would decide later what to do about them.”

The NBC defense is further undermined by the admission that they fired the two responsible for the editing. This shows acceptance of wrong doing by their employees.
To: Cboldt
Further, as for knowing it was false, remember that NBC FIRED the individuals responsible for the editing. That seems to me further evidence that the publisher KNEW it was false, though perhaps after the fact.

Of course it isn’t. The judge is deliberately kowtowing the cult of the Martyred Hoodiewearer.
To: PoloSec
elections have quincyconses...
but yes why a state lawsuit and not federal, given the nationwide coverage?

Thank you ... another faux pas by the ‘little brother’ Bush, a man without a spine.
