Giuliani's Defamation Trial Exposes Limits of Law and High Costs of Election Denial

In a defamation case against Rudy Giuliani, two women, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye Moss, testified about the devastating impact of false accusations made by Giuliani and Donald Trump regarding election fraud. The women received death threats and racist messages, forcing them to flee their homes and protect their identities. The jury awarded them $148.1 million in damages. The case highlighted the power imbalance between influential figures and ordinary individuals, as well as the limitations of defamation law in deterring defamers from spreading lies. Despite the verdict, it remains uncertain when the women will receive compensation, and Giuliani has continued to make defamatory statements. The monetary award cannot fully repair the reputational damage and personal trauma suffered by Freeman and Moss.

Giuliani opted not to testify, and his defense rested without calling any witnesses. The jury will now decide on the amount of damages to award the plaintiffs.

Rudy Giuliani's Actions Result in $47 Million in Damages to Georgia Workers

A reputation expert testified in Rudy Giuliani's defamation trial that the reputational damage caused by Giuliani's false claims against two Georgia election workers would cost up to $47.5 million to repair. Giuliani falsely accused the workers of manipulating election results and called them criminals. The expert estimated that the falsehoods reached up to 250 million people and recommended a "corrective" campaign to address the damage. Giuliani has been held liable for defamation in the case, and the trial is focused on determining damages. The ongoing mentions of the false statements online make it harder to repair the damage, according to the expert.
