Alabama hoops alum wins $9.25M defamation verdict against NYT

An Alabama jury awarded former Alabama men’s basketball player Kai Spears $9.25 million in damages after finding The New York Times defamed him by reporting he was a passenger in the car involved in a fatal January 2023 shooting; the Times later published an editor’s note and correction, and it was later revealed the person in the car was a team manager, not Spears. The nine-day trial concluded with the verdict, and the Times said it disagreed with the decision and may pursue legal options.

Supreme Court declines to rehear Trump’s bid to halt Carroll payout

The Supreme Court refused to reconsider its denial of Trump’s attempt to block a $5.6 million award to E. Jean Carroll from defamation and battery lawsuits, after lower court rulings ordered the payment. Carroll’s team said the funds would be placed in an interest-bearing account while the petition for rehearing is resolved. The decision closes the path for this phase of the Carroll case, though a separate $83 million judgment from the earlier suit remains before the Court.

Jury awards $33M to twins after Redwood City street-racing crash

A San Mateo County jury awarded $33 million to 11-year-old twin girls whose parents were killed in Redwood City when their car was struck during a street race on Nov. 4, 2022. The 17-year-old driver, Cesar Morales, was speeding up to 110 mph while racing another car; Morales' parents were found negligent for failing to intervene. Morales received 90 days of home detention. The other driver, Kyle Harrison, pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter and racing Morales and was later found dead in his jail cell after serving less than a month of an eight-year sentence. The twins, adopted by their aunt, are pursuing payment of the award, but it is unclear how much the Morales family can pay.

Maine mom awarded $17M after bladder mistakenly removed in routine surgery

A Maine mother, Emily Mitchell, was awarded $17 million after a surgeon allegedly removed most of her healthy bladder during a routine laparoscopic procedure to remove a cyst from her ovary. The hospital, Northern Light Inland Hospital, was found negligent, and Mitchell now requires lifelong medical care after a bladder rebuilt from a section of her small intestine. The verdict—$15.75 million to Mitchell and $1.25 million to her husband—was the largest medical malpractice award in Kennebec County history; the hospital later closed amid financial troubles, and Mitchell continues to contend with ongoing urinary issues.

Carroll receives $5.6 million from Trump years after verdict

Carroll has collected the $5,625,005.48 judgment (with interest) from Trump, the amount awarded by a 2023 jury for sexual abuse and defamation. The funds, held in a court escrow, were disbursed after the Supreme Court denied Trump’s appeal; his lawyers unsuccessfully tried to block the disbursement. Carroll plans to keep the money in an interest‑bearing account and use it for retirement, while a related $83 million defamation judgment and its appeals continue separately.

Jury clears LAPD officer in Burlington store shooting case

A Los Angeles jury ruled that Officer William Jones was not liable in a civil suit over the 2021 fatal shooting at a North Hollywood Burlington Coat Factory, finding his split-second decision to rush into an active shooter scenario did not make him liable despite initial miscommunications about the suspect’s weapon; Valentina Orellana-Peralta, 14, was killed when a bullet Jones fired breached a changing room where she hid.
