To be fair, trials like this aren't usually high-profile, and if you want I'll dig up stuff on New York state civil financial fraud cases, but yeah stiff fines are typical. And courtroom conduct of people involved in a case matters. It always does. I remember when I was in court for the trial surrounding the break-in of my place and the accompanying theft and assault, and I was repeatedly coached by the DA's office to essentially be as polite and non-confrontational as possible. Even though I was the victim. Trump and his attorney did not do that, at all.
@acarson No, they certainly didn’t.
@acarson If you could find an example or two, that would be great. But don’t go to far out of your way – you have a life.
