Kaplan was the presiding federal judge in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial agaisnt former president Donald Trump. The jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million. Nice.
But the reason I like Kapan stems from a bit before the award. When Kapan caught Trump's attorney Alina Habba directly lying to him, he threatened her with jail. I wish he had followed through with it.
Come to think of it, by the rules Hobbs should be disciplined by the bar association for her actions but I suspect she won't be. It isn't like an attorney lying to a judge is all that unusual of behavior.
In my case, when Nelly Wince openly lied to the judge and in doing so committed fraud upon the court the judge, who openly admitted he knew Wince well, ordered that I pay her legal fees.
