Judge Takes Center Stage in Fox-Dominion Trial

Judge Eric Davis of Delaware Superior Court is presiding over the high-profile defamation case between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, which could have significant implications for free speech protections in the age of misinformation. Legal analysts say Judge Davis has been evenhanded and reasonable, but his every decision is being scrutinized for its potential impact on the outcome of the trial. The case is an important measure of how big a shield the First Amendment offers. Jury selection is set to begin on Thursday, with opening statements expected on Monday.
