What a shocker, bent judges in LA

 

I guess Vern will be flying home in economy now.

Good day for Musk,

Vernon Unsworth was seeking $190m (£145m) in damages from the Tesla founder, over the tweet sent last year.

 

It wasn't about money at all, Vernon was just suing him on principal, that's it. ????

I wonder if Vern reads TV and if so if he realizes everybody is laughing at him and his tainted name?

Hi Elon, I'm not sure he's that bothered.

To fly all the way to LA and and lose a chance at nearly $200 million. That has to sting. The whole village thought they had won the lottery.

Tainted how? After being publicly labelled pedo-guy and a child rapist on multiple occasions, and being challenged to sue if it was untrue, Unsworth had little alternative but to do so. The fact that he got screwed speaks volumes about the US legal system and how their pockets are lined.

Now when you google Musk and Vern he will be remembered only as pedo guy. It was decided by a jury so not sure what point you are making about the US legal system.

Ever since Musk first tweeted it to his 22 million followers, Unsworth's name has been associated with this insult. That's why there was a court case in the first place.

 

For those from England this would be taken as an outrageous slur, not remotely comparable to Unsworth's initial comments. The verdict seems to suggest the US jury and judges don't view paedophilia (and public accusations thereof) as seriously as other countries do.

That's why he should have left well enough alone. Now he has immortalized himself because he is also a gold digger.

After all this, our dear ole Rooster will have his work cut out come Sunday morning.

It was the right decision of him to sue Musk, I would have done the same. 

At least he got the message out that he is not a pedo , if he had done nothing , people would start questioning him if Musk maybe was right.
