The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stated that U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff intruded on the jury's decision-making process by dismissing the case prematurely due to insufficient evidence of actual malice, thereby undermining the integrity of the jury's verdict.
The appeals court emphasized that while jurors claimed they were not influenced by the push notifications regarding Rakoff's finding of no actual malice, the very fact that they received such notifications created a situation that had the potential to prejudice their verdict.
