The US Supreme Court has rejected Roy Moore's appeal to reinstate an $8.2 million defamation verdict in his favour. The court declined the case on 5 October 2026, putting an end to Moore's effort to reinstate the jury's original ruling.
The dispute stems from a campaign advertisement. Moore had contended the verdict should stand in his favour, but the Supreme Court's refusal to take up the case leaves the lower court outcome in place against him.
