MSNBC is set to face off in a high-stakes defamation trial over its coverage of Dr. Robert Knight's collection of human uteruses for medical research, with the lawsuit claiming the network made him out as an 'utterly insane' and 'utterly reprehensible' individual. The case centers on MSNBC host Chris Hayes' statements about Knight's practices in 2021. Knight is suing for $10 million in damages, alleging defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The trial is expected to be closely watched by media observers and experts.
