NEWS: Mignogna's Civil Case Against Voice Actress Jamie Marchi Dismissed

ISWV are awfully quiet.

If the affidavits were falsified, does that mean Chuck Huber's not a sex pest apologist?

Quote: The court must also issue a fine to the plaintiff that is "sufficient to deter the party who brought the legal action from bringing similar actions..." I quite expect that Vic will try to recoup his losses through exploring new entrepreneurial avenues. Such efforts will amount to nothing, of course, but the risk of inevitable failure has hardly deterred him in the past.

In a way, I kind of hope he does. By no means am I excusing his behavior, but as a fellow Christian I'm obliged to think that, after a punishment (jail time, firing, fines, etc.), any person should be given a second chance somewhere down the road. It's going to be hard though; everyone will know who he is and what he did, and this current society isn't going to be quite so forgiving. On one hand, it will keep him away from people so that he won't be able to do this kind of stuff ever again; on the other hand, it will completely ruin his chances at a stable career and functioning in a normal society (though not as much as others like Kevin Spacey given his relatively obscure status).

Either way, it's clear he dug an even bigger hole for himself with these cases. Like AiddonValentine said, had he just used this as a time to reflect and stayed away from conventions to avoid temptation, he could have come back better than ever. That's still a possibility (we don't know yet what the #MeToo movement will do to careers later down the road), but now he also comes across as a pouty man-child, and that reputation probably won't fade anytime soon.

No, as I understand it, it was notarization fraud rather than him forging affidavits; in other words, Chuck still came forward with his case-destroying testimony. (That, and don't forget the email exchanges he had with Monica.)

In another exchange, a slightly exasperated Chupp said, “Am I not being clear?” Beard responded, “No, your honor, it’s that I’m not listening“ -- to which the judge said, “It would help if you would.”

Good. Though I'm sure somehow his legion of followers is going to twist this into either a victory or a government conspiracy.

They're in fact doing both, and it's simultaneously hilarious and sad

Important to note that the judge does consider Vic as a LPPF; meaning the defamation claim will more than likely fall flat on its face.

[Lemoine's] First argument was Vic's public figure status (would affect what Plaintiff needs to show) and he appeared to have several slides prepared.

The judge cut him off abruptly and said "I agree he's a public figure, look at all the people that showed up, normally it's lonely here."
