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.

    The [$8.6 billion judgment against Chevron] was ultimately scrapped, and Donziger was ruled to have won it through fraud and bribery

    Wasn't it ruled based on the testimony of some guy who was paid off a million dollars and admitted to lying? Am I remembering those facts right?
