In less than two hours, jury members will gather again to deliberate the defamation case against the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani. The jury will determine how much this political figure must pay to Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss, two former Georgia election workers. Allegedly, Giuliani defamed these individuals, circulating conspiracy theories which consequently resulted in them receiving a series of violent and racist threats.
Though expected to give his own defense testimony, Giuliani chose not to take the stand. The defense argued that the plaintiffs had already suffered enough, urging the jury to listen to their distress and harassment narrative. The defense proceeded to ask the jury to consider Giuliani's past leadership moments and the deeds he performed as the New York's mayor while deliberating the verdict.
