The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of investigative journalist Andy Ngo v. Rose City Antifa and its alleged affiliated members, in which they found both defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter not liable in the civil case brought against them.
Ngo filed a complaint in Portland, Oregon in 2020, claiming assault and other injuries over alleged acts of violence carried out by members of Antifa, which began in 2019. Defandants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter have been accused by Senior Editor of Post Millennial Andy Ngo of assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which was argued before a civil jury for more than a week at the Multnomah County Courthouse.
During closing statements, defense lawyer Michelle Burrows told the jurors that not only does she self-identify as both a progressive and an “anti-fascist,” she strongly declared that, "I am Antifa" and insisted upon making herself an “I am Antifa” t-shirt to wear after the trial. Despite their significant recorded history of violence, she told the jury that Antifa's unfavorable reputation is untrue and depicted the organized militant group as activists fighting for social justice and civil rights.

The residents need more water bottles to the jaw.
Apparently the jury is ANTIFA too
Suspect they might have felt sympathetic to the guy with the burned face...
“Democrat jury, Democrat city.”
Same as Washington D.C.
How strong a case was this? Obviously a politically biased jury but I wonder how politically biased they were by how blatant the evidence was.
Jury intimidation. Appeal, if legal funds are available for Ngo. I hope he has visible protection with him now and as long as he’s in that city.
Backstory on this, according to Jack Poso, is that the jury was under quite a bit of intimidation.
That’s exactly what people on Twitter are saying right now... Trump doesn’t stand a chance in DC.
Did Mafia lawyers even blatantly threaten juries in court?
Maybe.
Or it could be like that case in Mississippi decades ago when the young man was lynched and the jury said they did not want to convict anyone.
Hoped we were past that as a nation; looks like we are going further in the wrong direction.
No doubt. If they’re still in Portland they have to be.
Yup - AntiFa intimidated jury (or antifa outright)
Don’t go into Dem cities. Let them rot from the inside.
“Before closing statements, Judge Sinaplasai informed the court that the trial’s jurors have raised concerns about being “doxed,” and claimed that people have been trying to find out their identities.”
Oops, somehow deleted this part: I don’t see how the defense attorney’s closing argument is anything less than a threat.
Yeah... that’s why I made sure to boldface the subtitle.
