The US Supreme Court has refused to hear Roy Moore's appeal to restore an $8.2 million defamation verdict in his favour. The court turned down the appeal on 5 October 2026, putting an end to Moore's effort to reinstate the jury's original ruling.
The dispute involves a campaign advertisement. Moore had contended the verdict should stand in his favour, but the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the appeal leaves the prior decision in place against him.
