Roy Moore's Defamation Case Reversed

11th U.S. Circuit Court overturned $8.2 million defamation verdict against Roy Moore. 2017 political ad by Senate Majority PAC accused of false implication of soliciting sex from 14-year-old. Court ruled PAC's actions were negligent, not malicious. Evidence insufficient to prove intent required for defamation-by-implication. Ezra Reese praised decision as 'total vindication', Jeff Wittenbrink expressed disappointment. Potential Supreme Court appeal over 'actual malice' doctrine
