Will see ever get the money though?
If she wins sheâll get the money alright
Not definitely no. From what I have read her story hangs together.
Itâll be interesting what comes out after the decision of the jury.

In proper wokey fashion, Iâd like to see pressure on the porterhouse to discontinue brewing his slop, as well as whoever is distilling his whiskey. He tries to make a pariah of his victims through intimidation. Itâs time he gets a taste of what that feels like.

How does this work? 9 out of 12 to find in her favour? And if that happens a judge decides the quantum of damages?
It goes to a twitter poll

Jury decides damages
I read through the tweets. Mr Gordons summing up was very good.
He mentions McGregor losing his cool in the stand? I donât remember that being reported.
In Irish civil trials, juries are uncommon but may be used in specific cases, such as defamation, malicious prosecution, or false imprisonment. Hereâs how they work:
Number of Votes Needed for a Verdict:
In a civil trial with a jury, a majority decision is sufficient. For a 12-member jury, at least 9 out of 12 votes are needed to determine liability (similar to a âguiltyâ verdict in a criminal context).
Who Decides Damages?
If the jury finds the defendant liable, the jury also decides on the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff. The judge may provide guidance but does not set the damages.
Examples of Irish Civil Cases Involving Juries:
- De Rossa v. Independent Newspapers (1999):
Former Labour Party leader Dick Spring sued a newspaper for defamation and was awarded damages
@briantinnion Would you like additional details on any of these points?

Thered nearly be Rodney King levels of uproar
Sounds like he didâŚ
"John Gordon, senior counsel for Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita NĂ LaimhĂn, told the eight women and four men in Dublinâs high court they had been âsubjected to arrogant, distasteful, dishonest testimonyâ by the fighter.
In his closing speech to a packed high court in Dublin, with McGregor and the plaintiff sitting just feet away from each other, he described McGregorâs alleged behaviour as savage, cowardly and devious.
He went on to claim that McGregor, who denies the rape, had colluded with a friend to concoct a story that he and a friend, a co-defendant in the trial, both had consensual sex with the hairdresser at the post-party party on 18 December 2018.
Summing up his argument, he told the jury McGregor provided âno answer to his appalling behaviourâ and showed his true temperament when he launched a âstream of invectiveâ at his client during cross examination, Gordon said."
Thereâs tonnes of doubt and a 3 v 1 situation in testimony.
I wish her well but hard to see her pulling it off.
Thatâs really clear, thank you.
