It seems the verdict is based on editing together of statements in an anti-Moore add that, in the Jury's eyes, defamed Ol' Roy and were cause for an $8.2M award.
The article claims it all boiled down to Roy being banned from a local mall for dogging teenage girls. Roy say's he was never banned. The Jury agreed with Roy in Federal Court.
The PAC relied on statements from a mall security officer that claims to have banned Ol' Roy from the premises, and a couple of Roy's teenage muse' that worked at the mall. Best I can glean, as a lazy and time limited dogger, Roy was 32 at the time.
The PAC believes the award will be overturned on appeal.
So, is this an indication of society's recently found, and at times enforced, leniency toward people who have similar styles of attracting romantic interests as 'Ol Roy being reflected in the legal system, or is this just an Alabama Federal Jury doing Alabama things?
Has Roy become part of a protected class or is it purely partisan?
Here are a few slanted sources, fwiw...
