Supreme Court Upholds Damages Against Judge

Justices on Wednesday rejected an appeal by Elizabeth Halverson seeking to overturn the damages awarded to her former assistant, Ileen Spoor.

Spoor sued the judge in 2007. She claimed Halverson defamed her with reports to police and media that Spoor was conducting an illegal ticket-fixing operation and was arranging for friends to avoid jury duty.

This is a fantastic event. A judge lost a defamation case? How could THAT happen?

I think it's great that a judge was held accountable for making false accusations.
