Now, guaranteed he's going to appeal. After all, in America, you're innocent until proven broke. (Robert Blake quote)

He pulled a page from Trump's playbook, and like his mastermentor, defamed the women in the exact same way earlier on the court steps after having been found guilty of defamation. The jury deliberated for two days before handing down the amount of damages.

From the article: "The jury found Giuliani owes Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman $16,998,000 and $16,171,000, respectively, for defamation; $20 million a piece for emotional distress; and $75 million total in punitive damages. The payouts total over $148 million."

One thing that I did not know: the infamous Trump call to Raffensperger? Said call "...was played for the court. While the call is infamous for containing Trump’s request that Raffensperger “find” him the votes necessary to win Georgia, what’s less known is that Trump referenced Freeman 18 times during the conversation. The former president called Freeman a “professional vote scammer,” and accused her of being a “known political operative” who had “stuffed the ballot boxes.” Freeman and Moss’ attorneys pointed out that Trump’s language in the call about Freeman echoed strategic post-election messaging crafted by Giuliani’s team."

WOW.

It'll be some time before they get the money, and I expect the amount will be reduced, but still - to have your life ruined by the Trump operation, they deserve it.

Politics should not work like this, destroying innocent people.
