An eight-person jury has reached a verdict in Rudy Giuliani’s defamation damages trial in federal court in Washington, DC, the judge announced Friday afternoon.

The jury has been tasked with deciding how much the former New York mayor must pay two former Georgia election workers for the harm caused by defamatory statements he made about them following the 2020 election.

The plaintiffs – Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – are asking for $24 million apiece in compensatory damages. Their attorney said he would leave it to the jury to consider how much Giuliani should be ordered to pay the mother and daughter for emotional and punitive damages.

Jurors began deliberations on Thursday afternoon.

Pretty easy in today's political environment to get favorable rulings against any person associated with Trump/MAGA,.....more proof of a two tier justice system.

Calling them names is not accusing them of a crime. At least for now, this is not actionable, although I'm sure you'd prefer it was.

Accusing someone of a crime is not required for defamation, only defamation per se

Their names were dragged through the mood with absurd accusations with no basis whatsoever as it turns out.
