The US Supreme Court has declined to take up Roy Moore's appeal to reinstate an $8.2 million defamation verdict in his favour. The court turned down the appeal on 5 October 2026, ending Moore's effort to reinstate the jury's original ruling.
The dispute involves a campaign advertisement. Moore had argued the verdict should stand in his favour, but the Supreme Court's refusal to take up the case leaves the earlier ruling in place against him.
