The only travesty of justice was the judge who decided to make the Marine’s family pay the phelps scum legal costs. There was no need for him to do that.
He should have just told phelps to be happy the decision was reversed and go pound sand.
One petty little tyrant judge with delusions of godhood had no business overturning the verdict in a legitimate jury trial. He spit in the faces of more than the Marine and his family.
I'm not a lawyer nor do I wish to get into a pissing contest with anyone here but it's quite possible that the judge was following the law and basing his legal opinion and the assessment of legal fees on some language that recognized this suite as unsubstantiated..........
