This time, she is trying to get a 3rd chance and the judge said "Um no.".

Doing a quick search - this goes back to 2017 with a suit against the NYT regarding one of their Editorials about mass shootings, where she was apparently referenced -

2017

Original suit - Palin suing New York Times over editorial on mass shooting

Suit dismissed - Judge dismisses Palin defamation case against New York Times

2019

Appeals Court revives original suit - Appeals court revives Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against New York Times

2020

Trial ordered - Judge orders jury trial in Sarah Palin libel suit against New York Times

2022

Suit dismissed (again while deliberations were underway in the trial) - Judge throws out Palin libel case against New York Times

Jury aquits NYT (while the case was being dismissed) - Jury finds that Sarah Palin failed to prove her defamation case against the New York Times

2024

2nd trial granted - Sarah Palin granted new trial in defamation lawsuit against New York Times

New trial date set - Judge sets new trial date in Sarah Palin's libel lawsuit against The New York Times

2025

Retrial begins - A retrial of Sarah Palin's case against 'New York Times' begins Monday

Palin loses again (NYT acquitted) - Sarah Palin loses defamation retrial against New York Times

So now she has asked for yet another trial and that was denied!
