Now, a year later, the case finally played out in front of a jury trial. As The Washington Post reports, a Fairfax County jury took five days at trial and eight hours in deliberation to decide that, yes, Perez had defamed Dietz with her review. However, Dietz's responses to the post in the comment thread defamed Perez as well. So accordingly, no one will receive damages.
