In a significant court ruling, a jury has found that Rudy Giuliani, the former lawyer for ex-President Trump, is obligated to pay close to $150 million for the defamation of two election workers based in Georgia, post the 2020 election. This verdict was reported by NBC, and is a reflection of today's charged political environment and the high stakes attached to recent elections.

Presiding over the case, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell determined Giuliani had wrongfully defamed Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two diligent participants in the electoral process, back in August. In our judicial system, such erroneous accusations carry severe financial penalties especially when they tarnish the reputation and yield unwarranted distress on the victims.

The turning point of the case arrived after a four-day trial, throughout which the jury engaged in over nine hours of profound deliberation. Residing in Washington D.C., the jury finally deployed impartial judgement and awarded the aggrieved women damages amounting to $148 million, NBC News disclosed.

The calculated award comprised of different categories of compensation, each filled out with precise values. Ruby Freeman was awarded $16,171,000 for defamation and another $20 million for the emotional distress she endured, a considerable sum reflecting the gravity of Giuliani’s allegations.

In the same way, Shaye Moss was also granted $16,998,000 to compensate for the defamation she experienced. Moreover, she was awarded an additional $20 million for the emotional distress caused due to the former Trump attorney's baseless claims against her.
