I don’t know much about civil proceedings, so I hope someone can help me out. The whole legal proceedings against Mr. Jones were obviously a politically motivated persecution of him with the express goal of silencing him. I don’t think there is any question about that. Now, I don’t know if anything he said actually rises to an actual standard of defamation or damage against any of the plaintiffs, but even if it did no reasonable person would ever believe he did over a billion dollars in damages to the plaintiffs. That is entirely absurd, and the award that was given to the plaintiffs was clearly designed to utterly destroy Mr. Jones in perpetuity.

My question is this…it would seem to me that on appeal that even if the verdict against Mr. Jones was not overturned the damages awarded to the plaintiffs would surely be reduced by a very substantial amount, because anyone who look at it reasonably can tell what’s being done. I mean, hell, they’re rigging the auction of their property to make sure it goes into “approved” hands. So, why hasn’t he appealed?
