A little more on the libel suit Sharon brought against Time and lost: mideastfacts.com <<< Both Israeli and American friends played their parts. When Time wanted Israelis in the U.S. to testify, the Israeli Embassy gave them diplomatic status to keep them out of court. By the time Sharon had finished presenting his witnesses, however, it was so obvious he couldn't win that Time rested its own case without calling any witnesses at all. Federal Judge Abraham Sofaer then gave the jury lengthy instructions directing them not to go for a simple yes or no on whether Time had libeled Sharon, but rather to bring in a three-part verdict, one part at a time. That enabled Sharon to get favorable decisions on two parts, before he lost on the third, key issue. He then claimed that he was somehow morally vindicated. >>>
