Well, I have personal knowledge of all the details of this case, and it is also a matter of the court record - that Mr. Goodson was non-threatening and the only reason he was considered a trespasser is because he asked the people who worked their questions about what goes on at the abortion clinic. One of the workers even swore that he was very calm and not at all threatening. In fact, the only person who were violent was the daughter of the abortionist - she actually attacked Mr. Goodson in a crazed fashion SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE KNEW HE HAS PRO-LIFE VIEWS (and she knew that because he had told her before in a very kind way that he was praying for her). Mr. Goodson is a pacifist.

Anyone else who goes to this abortuary and asks questions is not viewed as a trespasser.

The court has given Mr. Goodson damages for the tortious attack by the daughter - holding that her belief that Mr. Goodson was dangerous or a threat to be unreasonable.

TMLC does not take cases that are shaky.

Your "personal knowledge" of the case is significantly at variance with the facts that the TMLC posted.

Second, it looks like it was a mutual kill--Muise got a $101 judgement, but Meriter got a $375 judgement against Goodman.

Mr. Goodman also has a history of criminal trespass...

"Mr. Goodson was non-threatening.."

We are given this assessment by Notwithstanding, who is so mentally balanced that in post #28 she wrote of another poster:
"Palpy = Hater = Satan"

Well, as to this character assessment "We'll take it for what it's worth."

Is that court judgment for a whopping $101, and was it satisfied by American Family Mutual Insurance Company?

Also, it looks to me like Mr. Goodman had judgment entered against him for $375.19, and in favor of Meriter Hospital.

Please tell me I'm wrong about these figures, because if I'm not, trumpeting an award of "damages" under these circumstances is a stretch. That is not to say that the fact of a judgment doesn't have legal significance. It does, but I would suggest focusing on the decisions, and not the damages.

Where did Goodman file the case in which he won damages? Was it in state or federal court? If it's in a state court, which county in Wisconsin? If it's in federal court, where did he file? EDWI, WDWI, or somewhere else?
