That picture of him leaving the courthouse in the article; are his pants conspicuously wet?
You don't understand, he has to piss himself because his pants are continuously on fire.
LOL I think your right. I did some basic investigating https://photos.app.goo.gl/jRb2rLgmhtp1EECC8
Looks like he's trying to signal Batman
Looks like his diaper leaked. He should find out what brand trump wears.
I guess whatever affliction that made the hair on his head melt finally migrated down to his pubes
Question for the legally aware:
I’ve seen many cases where the court will adjust jury-awarded penalties downward. A jury might find a chemical company liable in polluting a river and award the claimants $100M, and the court will adjust it to $5M.
The justice and potential for corruption etc aside, could the judge in a case like this and given an event like this increase the amount Rudy must pay over and above the $43M or whatever it is that’s being asked? Could the court say that the impenitent and repeatedly offending nature of Rudy merits additional penalties above and beyond what was asked for in the context of this case, or like with the Trump defamation case would it need a separate trial?
In E Jean Carrolls case against Trump, after the judge awarded her $5mil, Trump walked out of the courtroom and lied to the camera, again, even having just lost on it.
The attorney filed a motion against Trump the next day asking for double damages and was promptly awarded it. $10mil total.
So yea, the judge has some discretion.
Lol, his attorney trying to be all "Oh he's just an old man," and Howell putting a stop to that shit instantly.
I'm beginning to regret spending all that money to graduate the Rudy Giuliani School of Real Good Lawyerin'.
The one next to the adult book store?
You've been there too!
Is it reasonable to double the fines for each act of defamation? Or should the multiplier be larger?
Doubling is fine, people tend to be awful at visualizing exponential growth as it is
Let me introduce you to a little thing called tetration...
Oh I see you have used up all that rope already?
Sure, have some more Mr. Giuliani.
Let's make this real clear and help stop normalizing all the self-owning and wasting every taxpayers' time and money.
This is why the elder and wiser politician bowed the f out whenever they f'd up. Stop digging your graves deeper. We don't want you back and you're not saving face this way.
Giuliani couldn't keep his mouth shut if his life depended on it.
Mostly because he wouldn't be able to fill it with booze.
Why does the title frame it as a possibility, then immediately go on to describe him definitely doing it?
Same reason someone is alleged to have done something even if you have video for it, you wait until it's been affirmed by the courts to avoid being potentially liable for defamation.
Probably liability
