    Plaintiff are seeking up to $43m in damages in defamation case and Giuliani’s lawyer tells court it would ‘be the end’ of him if he loses

    So the lawyer is saying the justice system is working as intended?

        Me too, and I love the “if you punish my client, it will be bad for him” argument. That’s clearly the sign of a good lawyer.

          It’s the best argument he’s got, and can you blame him? There isn’t a lawyer alive who could win this for old ink scalp. His only hope is a stacked court.

          This should be taught in law school in Trial Law 101: best defense

          “Your honor, this verdict is horrible for my client. Move for a mistrial.”

          “Ah good point, didn’t think of that. Wouldn’t want to inconvience this man. Granted”
