minus-squareDuenanlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoBeen looking at this today. Sadly even though the judge has come to that judgement it can’t incur any criminal penalties according to the ABC. "“I hasten to stress this is a finding on the balance of probabilities.” Mr Lehrmann faced a criminal trial in the ACT Supreme Court in 2022, which collapsed without a verdict due to juror misconduct. This trial is a civil defamation trial where the burden of proof is less and does not lead to any criminal punishment." Despite that it’s a good ruling.
