阿拉巴马州金·钱德勒·蒙哥马利--美国最高法院周一驳回了罗伊·摩尔（Roy Moore）对2017年参议院竞选广告恢复820万美元诽谤判决的努力，该广告由与民主党结盟的超级政治行动委员会资助。
KIM CHANDLER MONTGOMERY, Alabama — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected Roy Moore’s push to restore an $8.2 million defamation verdict over a 2017 Senate race ad funded by a Democratic-aligned super PAC.
法官们拒绝听取摩尔对下级法院撤销大额判决的裁决的上诉。该结果维持了美国第十一巡回上诉法院的裁决，该裁决撤销了陪审团关于摩尔被该广告诽谤的裁决。
Justices declined to hear Moore’s appeal of a lower court decision that vacated the large verdict. The outcome keeps in place the decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that erased a jury’s decision that Moore had been defamed by the ad.
这是资助该广告的参议院多数党政治行动委员会的胜利，并认为该广告是真实的。
It was a victory for Senate Majority PAC, which funded the ad, and argued it was truthful.
几个月前，法院于6月驳回了摩尔提出的在他上诉期间搁置第11巡回法院裁决的紧急请求。
The decision comes months after the court in June rejected Moore’s emergency request to put the 11th Circuit decision on hold while he appealed.
摩尔是阿拉巴马州前首席大法官，以反对同性婚姻和支持公开展示十诫的强硬立场而闻名，在竞选活动因不当行为指控而动摇后，他在2017年参议院竞选中落败。
Moore, a former Alabama chief justice, known for his hardline stances opposing same-sex marriage and supporting the public display of the Ten Commandments, lost the 2017 Senate race after his campaign was rocked by misconduct allegations.
利·考夫曼（Leigh Corfman）表示，摩尔在1979年不恰当地触摸了她，当时她14岁，而摩尔是一名32岁的助理地方检察官。摩尔否认了这一指控。其他女性说，摩尔在她们十几岁的时候和她们约会，或者约她们出去。
Leigh Corfman said Moore inappropriately touched her in 1979 when she was 14 and he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. Moore denied the accusation. Other women said Moore dated them, or asked them out on dates, when they were older teens.
参议院多数党PAC资助了31号公路，这是一个在参议院竞选期间对摩尔进行广告闪电战的组织。
Senate Majority PAC funded Highway 31, a group that ran an advertising blitz against Moore during the Senate race.
摩尔对参议院多数党政治行动委员会提起了诽谤诉讼，诉讼的焦点是一则电视广告。摩尔的律师辩称，这则广告将不同新闻文章的陈述和部分引用并列在一起，错误地暗示他被指控在购物中心向年轻女孩拉客。
Moore filed a defamation lawsuit against Senate Majority PAC centered on a television ad. Moore’s attorneys argued the ad juxtaposed statements and partial quotes from separate news articles that, when read together, falsely implied he was accused of soliciting sex from young girls at a shopping mall.
摩尔的律师称这是一个“捏造的指控，从未由任何记者提出”，“在美国参议院选举的最后几天，阿拉巴马州的家庭广播了533次”。2022年，一个联邦陪审团同意摩尔的观点，并判给他820万美元的赔偿金。上诉法院在发现摩尔未能证明该组织恶意行事后撤销了判决，这是涉及公众人物案件的法律标准之一。摩尔向最高法院提出上诉。
Moore’s attorneys called it a “fabricated accusation, never made by any reporter” that was “broadcast into Alabama homes 533 times in the final days of a United States Senate election.”A federal jury in 2022 agreed with Moore and awarded him $8.2 million in damages. The appeals court vacated the verdict after finding Moore failed to prove the organization acted with malice, one of the legal standards for cases involving public figures. Moore appealed to the Supreme Court.
