Catch Up as the Jury Deliberates in Coomer v. Lindell

The jury did not reach a verdict on Friday and will return Monday at 7aMT.

The case is in the hands of the jury now, and they did not reach a verdict Friday after deliberating for a few hours. They will return Monday at 7aMT / 9aET.

The jury needs to determine if Mike Lindell had a “reckless disregard for the truth” in his alleged defamation of Eric Coomer. The recklessness standard is how they are attempting to get to malice, which is a requirement since the judge already found that the statements are “defamation per se.”

Central to Mike’s defense against recklessness is that he had a reasonable basis for his beliefs, and that the “expert class” was blocking him from accessing the necessary resources to make change. We talked about this on Saturday when I joined

Jon Herold

and

Chris Paul

for a bit on the Devolution Power Hour.

Watch the full episode here.

Halderman essentially confirmed that he is a blocker. Let’s see what the jury does. And let’s end corrupt elections.
