Rudy Giuliani is liable for defaming Georgia election workers, judge rules
19thnews.org
Giuliani defamed and inflicted emotional distress on Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss after falsely accusing them of election fraud, Judge Beryl Howell ruled.

This is separate from Rudy’s criminal trial with Trump, this was a civil trial between him and the election workers, where Rudy admitted that he lied about them.

    Howell’s three-page ruling entered a default judgment finding Giuliani liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy and punitive damage claims. The court ordered Giuliani to cover Freeman’s and Moss’ attorney fees associated with discovery in the case. Giuliani will also have to pay punitive damages; that amount will be determined by a jury trial.

    Howell instructed the jury to consider that Giuliani was “intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about his financial assets for the purpose of artificially deflating his net worth” in determining punitive damages.

    Life sure sucks for this sack of shit these days. I’m all in favor of his bullshit burying him for the rest of his life. Could have led a fat and pampered lifestyle and threw it all away. Fuck him.
