TikTok Hero and Chevron Foe Donziger Gets Six Months in Jail (1)

news.bloomberglaw.com

Steven Donziger, the disbarred lawyer who once won an $8.6 billion judgment against Chevron Corp. over alleged contamination of the Amazon rain forest, was sentenced to six months in jail for defying court orders.

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.

    We'll see. He's appealing the ruling, and once he's in front of a new judge things may go better for him.
