Jury finds #MyPillow founder #defamed #formeremployee for a leading #voting equipment company
A federal jury in Colorado has found MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed a former employee for a leading voting equipment company. Jurors reached the verdict Monday for Lindell, one of the nationâs most prominent election conspiracy theorists. He had called the employee for Dominion Voting Systems, Eric Coomer, a traitor. Lindellâs online media platform also streamed an event where a conservative podcaster accused Coomer of helping rig the 2020 election. During the trial in Denver, Lindell denied making any statements he knew to be false about Coomer. Coomer said his career and life have been destroyed as a result of the statements. Coomerâs lawyers said Lindell either knew the statements were lies, or conveyed them recklessly without knowing if they were true.

#Climate #scientist awarded $1m from #rightwing #bloggers who #defamed him
A jury on Thursday in Washington, D.C. said climate scientist Michael Mann was defamed 12 years ago when a pair of conservative writers compared his depictions of global warming to a convicted child molester. The jury awarded him $1 million. Mann, a professor of climate science at the University of Pennsylvania, rose to fame for a graph first published in 1998 in the journal Nature that was dubbed the âhockey stickâ for its dramatic illustration of a warming planet.
#JudgeKaplan is giving the #jury instructions.
Thatâs it for the closing arguments themselves. Now we wait for the jury charge & #deliberations.
#JudgeKaplan tells the jury that they do not have to decide whether #EJeanCarroll was #SexuallyAssaulted or whether she was #defamed, thatâs been decided as a matter of #law. âFor your purposes, you must accept these points are true no matter what else you heard in this trial,â he said.
#EJeanCarroll's #legal team on Fri questioned whether #Trump can even #testify â & showed his 5-min courtroom tirade in his fraud case to argue he wants to 'sow chaos'
Carroll's legal team also wants the judge to make Trump declare under oath that he understands:
*It's been established that he sexually assaulted her & #defamed her by lying about it.
*He's blocked from disputing it & will "conduct himself" accordingly
