The US legal system may be excruciatingly long and complicated 😩 with lots of appeals so that when a final verdict of conviction will be reached, the country may be suffocated, burnt to the ground and drowned in poisonous mirk....

"Michigan wants fossil fuel companies to pay for climate change damages"
by Izzy Ross for Grist
Quotes:
"Harms include severe weather, crop failures, and economic hits from lack of ice and snow."
"Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Thursday that she plans to sue fossil fuel companies for knowingly contributing to climate change, harming the state’s economy and ways of life.
“It’s long past time that we step up and hold the fossil fuel companies that are responsible for all these damages accountable,” she said."
"The department is asking outside lawyers to submit proposals to help with the case, which Nessel said could potentially bring billions to the state to address damages from climate change."
"....into the extensive efforts undertaken by fossil fuel companies to deceive the public and investors about their knowledge of the effects of their products on climate change and to undermine efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.”
"Nessel said the state has successfully pursued similar legal efforts in the past, including against the opioid industry and chemical manufacturers that produce PFAS."

#Trump believes... he gets to lie. He gets to threaten. He gets to ignore a jury verdict. He gets to defy the law and the rules of this courtroom. You saw how he behaved through this trial. Rules don't apply to Donald Trump. Ladies and gentleman, this isn't a campaign rally. It's not a press event. It's a court of law and Miss Carroll's life. Donald Trump sexually assaulted her. He defamed her. He is not the victim — E. Jean Carroll lawyer Shawn Crowley #quotes#quote#Defamation#Damages#TrumpCrimes
