Supreme Court Narrows Press Shield in Firestone Libel Case
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 2 that publishers can be liable for damages from negligently misinterpreting court decisions in the Firestone libel suit against Time. Five justices sent the $100000 judgment back to Florida to probe Time's alleged negligence about reporting divorce grounds. The decision narrows press protections built since 1964 for reporting on public figures and clarifies public figure standards. The Court also ruled state prosecutors are immune from civil rights damages for false testimony and rejected a bid to revive back pay claims over job classification.
