Abbreviated Pundit Roundup: Rudy Giuliani is out of luck, and the courts are sending a message
The Rudy Giuliani defamation trial is now over.
Rudy Giuliani hit with $148M verdict for defaming two Georgia election workers
An attorney for Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, had urged the eight-person jury to “send a message” with its verdict.
It was a unanimous decision by an eight-person jury. Giuliani deserved punitive damages, and the plaintiffs—Fulton County, Georgia, election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss—deserve to be compensated.
The courts are saying that lying can be expensive. And Donald Trump’s fraud trial in New York is still yet to resolve (and it might send the same message).
