Again, that was just one jury's interpretation, after the judge gave very limiting instructions.He shot them in justifiable self defense as the JURY and the Video's make clear.
if he sues Facebook for defamation, then all of it comes in. The Proud Boys, his bragging on tape about wanting to shoot a black man, his beating up the 14 year old girl, etc.
Facebook isn't going to have the worst civil servant in Kenosha County, they are going to have top notch civil attorneys.
If OJ had been tried in the Beverly Hills Courthouse where he should have been due to the location of the crime AND his residency, he would have been convicted in a heartbeat. Beverly Hills is used to dealing with rich and celebrity defendants. The judges there aren't starstruck like Lance Ito was and would have reined in the antics of the defense team. The jury would have been drawn from Beverly Hills, Beverly Wood, Bel Air, West LA and Santa Monica, all affluent areas with an educated jury pool. You wouldn't have had jurors so ignorant that they would say "I don't know no DNA, DNA just means OJ gots blood". That's a direct quote from one of the jurors who was interviewed after the trial.
which tells me that the prosecution did a poor job explaining the DNA evidence, dragging it over three days of very technical testimony.
The DNA evidence became meaningless when you had every bit of evidence found or handled by an officer who lied about using the N-word, and then was caught using the N-word on tape.
You mean the video where he hits a 14-year-old bully who was attacking his sister? That would reinforce his character, not detract from it.
Sure. You go with that, buddy.
Once again, Rittenhouse's complaint will not be predicated on what others said of him on Facebook per Section 230. It will be predicated on what Facebook claimed about the incident and about Rittenhouse himself by association. As for the misinformation regarding Rittenhouse's identity, as for Facebook taking that misinformation down: I anticipate that Rittenhouse's attorneys will argue that Facebook demonstrated a conscious understanding of what constitutes libelously harmful disinformation. Hence, it knew better than to intentionally mischaracterize Rittenhouse's actions.
We shall see if the argument holds up, and there are plenty other targets.
And they will all fail. They have tape of Rittenhouse shooting people. Characterizing it as a mass shooting or murder was perfectly within bounds, as a GRAND JURY indicted him for murder.
