Law & Crime reports:
Pro-Donald Trump defamation attorney L. Lin Wood must pay three of his former law partners a combined $4.5 million after he was found liable for defaming them on social media, a jury on Friday determined.
In March, a federal judge ruled in the plaintiffs’ favor on a motion for summary judgment — finding Wood liable but leaving the matter and amount of damages up to jurors in the Northern District of Georgia.
After a two-phase trial that lasted eight days with eight people sitting in judgment, the jury decided on actual damages of $3.75 million and concomitant litigation expenses of $750,000.
Read the full article. Wood says he will appeal.
He appeared here in September 2023 when he reportedly flipped in the RICO case against Trump and others. Last year Wood quit the Georgia Bar, claiming that the organization is satanic. Wood was facing disbarment on mental health grounds, in part for his claim that he may be the literal second coming of Jesus Christ. In 2021, he appeared here when he claimed that 9/11 was “faked with CGI.” His Wikipedia entry is quite the tour of loony tune QAnon batshittery and his many failed lawsuits to overturn the 2020 election.

QAnon influencer & attorney Lin Wood in an online stream this evening invoked claims about a “corporation” that’s tied to Sovereign Citizens. The Sovereign Citizens-connected claim has spread in the QAnon community this year, & was the basis for the March 4 conspiracy theory https://t.co/c4iC4LhTbZ pic.twitter.com/nk9hVAcUov
