God Damnit. God fucking Damnit. Fuck Fuck Fuck this is disgusting, private prosecutions. didn’t even give credit for time served. all for beating Chevron in an environmental case and appealing a preposterous court order. I knew cruelty was the point in this but fuck. Even if he actually did 6 counts of contempt of court 2 years and 8 months is more than can be legally given for that.

But U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska […] wasn’t swayed. She detailed what she characterized as Donziger’s prolonged, repeated refusal to obey court orders, musing that “it seems only the proverbial two-by-four between the eyes” would get him to properly respect the law.

Will from Chapo has been consistently retweeting about this case, IIRC the judge had some shifty ties to oil companies

It’s all rigged

He’s being prosecuted by chevron lawyers. Like not even a DA who receives donations from them, it’s a private prosecution!
