The Facts

Palin plans to seek a new trial, disqualification of the judge, and interviews of the jurors - amongst other motions - following the loss of a defamation suit against the New York Times.
A number of jurors reportedly learned of the judge's intention to dismiss her case before the jury ruled against her in the original trial.
