-the speech is not prohibited

-it's a tort

(1) criminal activity

(2) a loathsome disease

or

(3) unprofessional/unscrupulous conduct in a profession/trade by one who makes his living thereby?

keep in mind that being a pedo is not in itself a crime afaik and in California probably qualifies as a healthy and normal mental state--anything but loathsome

"He's a pedo guy" is obviously not a statement of fact.

HTH

i'm not gonna bother trying to figure out what exactly happened with this "trial," but it's just a statement of fact to describe that dude as a fucking blatant pedo

cmon man, just look at this fucking creep

the Court Of Physiognomy has ruled: obvious pedo guy is a pedo

case closed

That seems extremely unlikely. When someone powerful mocks you publicly, you're going to have at least some damages.

It is, however, entirely possible the jury was fucking retarded and nevertheless believed there was no harm. Juries are stupid and often have trouble separating the issues.

LMAO, the second one implies they failed to convince the jury their client wasn't a pedophile.

That means: Can a reasonable person who read Musk's tweets know for sure it was about Unsworth? The jury decided that the person couldn't and based their decision mainly on that. They were unanimous on this and moved quickly once establishing (less than an hour).

Musk's defense team led made it a clear argument that Musk's "pedo guy" tweet never mentioned Unsworth by name. That ended up being the key.

None of these jurors followed Musk on Twitter and it's not even clear if they have Twitter accounts.

The decision also underscores how there's a world online where stuff happens that real world people have no idea about.

One of the first replies to Musk certainly knew.

Unsworth had been honored by the queen of England and the king of Thailand, had his photo taken next to British Prime Minister Theresa May and been asked to speak at schools and contribute to a children's book, which showed that no one took Musk's insult seriously.

“People accused of pedophilia don't get celebrated by world leaders,” Spiro said. “Kings and queens and prime ministers don't stand next to pedophiles.”

Unsworth hadn't demonstrated actual damage to his reputation other than asserting over a couple minutes of emotional testimony delivered with his voice cracking that he felt isolated, ashamed and dirtied, Spiro said. There was no supporting testimony from his girlfriend or other friends who could discuss the impact they witnessed, no evidence he had lost business or relationships as a result of the tweet and he hadn't sought psychological counseling or medication.

Spiro mocked Unsworth's claims that the tweet was like a life sentence without parole, noting that many people are serving such terms in actual prisons.

you shouldn't be allowed to ATTEMPT to smear people as Musk did, even if it doesn't necessarily stick. that's not a 'defense' of a prominent person walking through the streets w/ a megaphone shouting "JOHN SMITH OF 121 WOODBURY LANE IS A PEDOPHILE!" this is a retarded argument and the practice of law is a bad joke in general.

pedo guy

An abbreviation of the word torpedo, pedo is a term of endearment often used by business magnates, investors and engineers, for a fast and excellent swimmer or diver. Sometimes, divers in Thailand who rescue young soccer teams from caves believe it means pedophile, but that's not the case.

PERSON 1: “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”

PERSON 2: "Did you just call me a pedophile?"

PERSON 1: No, it's short for torpedo. You swim really fast."

PERSON 2: "Oh my bad. And thank you. You are a true gentleman."

PERSON 1: "And you, sir, are a true pedo."
