I feel like I'm way behind, where was it confirmed that he hired escorts? Was it from the Saturday stream?
He admitted he'd done it once in deposition and that he'd gone against his beliefs when he did.
If the defense tries to bring that up, the real implication isn't that he's terrible for doing that, what it really shows is that he would admit to something true in deposition, even when there was no way they'd ever find out about it if he lied, and even if it hurt his case. It shows candor.
Well Sabat is a higher-up inFuni. If the DB dubbing rights go to any other place, I'd doubt he'd be able to hold out his power like befor
If Toei cuts ties with Funi everyone will know it's because of Sabat and that Sabat is a worthless fuck who devastated his previous employer. If that happens, Sabat's name is mud.
1) Can Ron now testify how he felt when he typed those tweets.(malice)
Nope he can't recall.
Something these dumb mothers don't understand is that civil cases are based on preponderance of evidence, and in this case, the plaintiff is going to argue that there was actual malice involved here, a recklessly negligent state of mind, and has excellent contextual evidence of that.
The only real defense to that is testimony from the defendants showing otherwise and for that, Ron would have to testify to his state of mind at the time.
Now he can't do that at all. Anything he tries to claim that he makes up now, after the fact, his deposition will be played to the jury, and they'll know it's bullshit. How can he know what his state of mind was when he wrote these things when he claims he doesn't even remember writing them?
That's assuming he's allowed to testify on the subject at all. Sanctions for his deposition misconduct could include striking that affirmative defense so without that defense, his testimony would be irrelevant anyway.
