    On top of everything else, his idiot lawyer accidentally emailed ALL of the discovery evidence that they had claimed didn’t exist TO THE PLAINTIFF’S ATTORNEY. As well as no showing and getting a summary judgement.

    There is so much stupid in that trial, you really should go find a legal YouTuber who documented the various levels of idiocy and just watch in amazement.

    I’d recommend LegalEagle.
