Giuliani defamed and inflicted emotional distress on Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss after falsely accusing them of election fraud, Judge Beryl Howell ruled.

This is separate from Rudy’s criminal trial with Trump, this was a civil trial between him and the election workers, where Rudy admitted that he lied about them.

    Unfortunately you are right. That said, if we get enough punitive damages to deter a second guiliani, we have done a whole lot already. Let it never happen again.

      Criminals aren’t deterred by consequences, because they never expect them. Criminals commit crimes when they think they can get away with it, and unfortunately many of them do.

      I am enjoying watching Giuliani suffer, but that doesn’t mean it’s justice, or that the system is working. No amount of money can atone for his crimes, and no prison sentence will change our legal system into something closer to fair.
