Judge says "Simberg article not entered" "Steyn article article appeared to have been entered Jan 29 but "it is not in the official transcript". 12 years later looks like case will collapse because Mann talked about but never presented alleged defamatory articles to the jury

BREAKING NEWS: Mark Steyn files appeal for new trial in defamation case against Climate Scientist and activist Michael Mann. Mann was awarded one dollar compensatory damages and a massive $1m punitive damages.
Steyn told the court he deserves a new trial because Mann’s lawyer deliberately equated Steyn with Jan 6 rioters to inflame a juror he knew worked in the U.S. Senate Sergeant-at-Arms office and was caught up in Jan 6 riots
STEYN: “The law states closing arguments “must not be
used to inflame the minds and passions of the jurors so that their verdict reflects an emotional response”

1/ A DC jury found Mark Steyn defamed Climate Scientist/activist Michael Mann but the trial saw enormous self-inflicted damage to Mann’s reputation. Discovery meant we learned just how appallingly unprofessional really Mann. 🧵

Professor Michael Mann took an enormous hammering in court over the deficiencies in his Hockey Stick analysis.
He is suing Mark Steyn (and Rand Simberg) for defamation after they called his graph a fraud. Just listen to Simberg's lawyer Victoria Weatherford demolish him:
Mann said he did not gather the data for the Hockey Stick.
He handled the statistics that showed flat temps for 1000 years and a sudden recent warming and tried desperately to avoid admitting he was not qualified in statistics.
W your PHD is not in statistics?

@MarkSteynOnline
Steyn, who is representing himself, apologises to the jury for not being able to stand up " I have difficulty standing but I have no difficulty standing on the truth"
"the truth of what I wrote, the truth about what happened at a famous American institution and the truth about this man, Michael Mann - the plaintiff. To modify a famous line from an American courtroom drama, I think you can handle the truth"
