NEW YORK—After roughly 15 hours of deliberation over three days, the jury in the Sarah Palin v. The New York Times trial delivered a verdict of “not liable” on Feb. 15, giving the newspaper a victory.

Since the verdict in the defamation trial was not in Palin’s favor, there was no monetary figure attached for damages.
