A jury finds the New York Times defamed an Alabama basketball player

  • An eight-person federal jury in Alabama awarded Kai Spears $9.25 million on Thursday over a 2023 article that wrongly placed him in a car at the scene of a fatal shooting.
  • The paper says it made an honest mistake and is reviewing its options.
  • It is reportedly the Times' first US defamation loss over its own reporting in more than fifty years.
