Giuliani was a no-show at a federal court hearing in the duo’s defamation lawsuit, prompting a lashing for his attorney by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who had ordered Giuliani to be present.

Probably because this is a civil case and not a criminal one. Not showing up negatively affects his case more than anything. This isn’t the same as defying a subpoena, or not being present as a criminal defendant, both of which would absolutely land this broke-ass motherfucker in jail
If I’m not mistaken, refusing to defend yourself in a civil case results in the judge automatically assuming everything the plaintiff is accusing you of is true. I wonder if that applies when your lawyers are present but you aren’t when ordered?
They’ve already decided against him, the trial next week is for damages.
Just like the Trump company trial in New York right now and the E. Jean Carrol defamation trial firing up in January.
“We’ve already determined you’re liable, now it’s all about damages…”
I can’t fathom Guiliani’s strategy in annoying the judge. smh.
He’s probably more worried about the window he’s about to fall out of.
Trump’s hands are too small to push anyone out of a window. Also, the way his full diapers and heel lifts make him lean forward, puts him at too much risk of falling out as well.
If their Russian financiers are in town though…
LOL yeah he’s a bumbling idiot with some pretty fierce keepers.
Seems like the same strategy Trump is using right now.
