The next morning, the judge publicly reiterated his statement of April 16, saying “I have made the decision to delay the start of the trial until tomorrow. With only one attorney from each side present, the judge offered the otherwise packed Wilmington courtroom and media overflow room no reason for the abrupt delay, but said that such occurrences are not “unusual” in such proceedings
Judge Davis ruled in late March that the case could move forward with trial, rejecting one of Fox’s claims that the network was merely covering a president’s newsworthy allegations of election fraud. He determined that the claims made on air about Dominion were false, leaving it to the jury to decide whether the network was liable for actual malice.
