Time correction in Sharon libel suit goes to jury
Time magazine faces a jury in New York over Ariel Sharon s $50 million libel suit after publishing a correction while defending the story s substance. The four women and two men panel will decide if the Time article implied he consciously intended or actively encouraged Christian Lebanese troops to kill civilians in two refugee camps amid a broader dispute over Appendix B documents. Judge Abraham Sofaer warned jurors on how to assess Time s knowledge of falsity and actual malice in printing the February 21, 1983 cover story and subsequent testimony and rulings echoed by the court and news outlets.

The finding echoes a similar Senate report from last fall.
