"Nancy Grace lost a bid to dismiss the libel lawsuit against her, the New York Times reported Friday.

Grace and three co-defendants were sued in 2012 over her statements about Michael Skakel, the nephew of Ethel Kennedy who was convicted for the 1975 murder of his neighbor. Grace and legal commentator Beth Karas had asserted on air that there was DNA evidence linking Skakel to the crime, which was in fact not true.

On Friday, Judge Vanessa L. Bryant ruled against the defendants' attempts to dismiss the lawsuit on grounds that Skakel is "libel-proof" and said that the lawsuit could proceed.
