Judge Eric Davis ruled earlier that #Newsmax did indeed #defame Denver-based #DominionVotingSystems by airing false information [ #lies] about the company & its equipment. But Davis left it to a #jury to eventually decide whether that was done with #malice, &, if so, how much #Dominion deserved from Newsmax in #damages. Newsmax & Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place.
The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the #SEC.

In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.
Hankison faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.

STORIES OF JURY NULLIFICATION “I'have been on juries pretty often [over] the last 10 years. I'm in Saint Louis and especially after the Ferguson uprising, I've tried to get [my fellow jurors] to reconsider their own bias and how we often insert our own experience erroneously especially in regards to race and crime. I find gently asking questions about assumptions folks make to be pretty useful. Asking folks if their goal is punishment, protection for the vulnerable or rehabilitation can allow me to slide in word tracks about abolition without people realizing what Iam doing. And, of course, being prepared to be the hold out and explaining why I am, gently and in a granular way, can get others to join me.”
