Yet another non sequitur, it says a future trial but doesn't say this future trial.
And this trial is a ................ trial?

So some say. I look on it more as an endurance test.
I believe everything. And l believe nothing.
I suspect everyone. And l suspect no one.
I gather the facts, examine the clues... and before   you know it, the case is solved!"

It appears to be a damages trial which doesn't seem to have an equivalent in UK law.

I don't care what it is. I just want a result so we can move on to the next stage of arguing over the outcome and its consequences.  ?{)(**

So it's do the damages bit first, then decide whether or not it was libel?  OK.

I'd put money on us not knowing precisely what's decided. There will be compromise and agreement will include details being private.
