Nobody is safe with juries like this, especially if you are a conservative.
I am sure that his legal team had an appeal penned as soon as the trial began.

Ridiculous. Mann is a complete fraud.
D.C. Juries... and Judges , and 99% of the lawyers will NEVER deliver Justice. Like Ripley and Hicks say: Take off, nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure

The left is just going to ‘legally’ confiscate the wealth of conservatives from here on out.
DC certainly couldn’t pass the Abraham test — ten righteous men. A jury trial there offers no hope for anyone with the “wrong” skin color or ideology. You would have a better chance of getting a fair trial in the soviet union.
I think one of Steyn’s lawyers has already indicated they will use this as an appeal. If successful it would lower Simburg’s penalty to $4 and Steyn’s to $4,000
Whether successful or not, these amounts will not be a dent in the cost of Mann’s legal team costs. Though Mann is not on the hook for any costs at all, as he testified in court, he has not paid for any legal fees regarding his litigation.
Why don’t we do the same to them in conservative states?
For those that don’t know.... Mann is the “Hockey Stick” and “Fudge factor” guy. He wrote software to rig the temperature Climate numbers. His software was leaked along with the code and code comments.
I hope the appeal does better.

When the story starts with “D.C. Jury...” you can extrapolate the gist.
“In Tull v. United States....the Court viewed assessment of the amount of penalty as involving neither the “substance” nor a “fundamental element” of a common-law right to trial by jury, it held permissible the Act’s assignment of that task to the trial judge.”

I believe in my youth, punitive damages were only awarded in the South. I may be wrong about that.
Structural racism - I don’t know how you remedy this … it’s a Trump card for the RATS …
I would think trying to collect on a DC judgement in Canada would be difficult.
Why didn’t you use a Canadian court?
i hope they gave him twelve years to pay.
Is this not defamation on Prof. Michael E. Mann’s part?
Joe Manchin is “a modern-day villain, who drives a Maserati, lives on a yacht, courtesy of the coal industry, and is willing to see the world burn as long as it benefits his near-term investments portfolio.”
Joe, get your lawyer on the phone!
Wonder how many judges juries are making money of nailing conservatives to the cross this amount of cases don’t happen by accident.
