A Texas federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Alexandra Davis, who claims to be the daughter of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Davis alleged that Jones and his associates portrayed her as an 'extortionist' and a 'shakedown artist.' The judge ruled that some of the alleged defamatory statements were either true or not defamatory, and that Davis failed to prove actual malice. Davis has the opportunity to amend her complaint and argue that the defendants acted with actual malice in comments published in one of the ESPN articles.
