> “Because he [Wright] advanced a deliberately false case and put forward deliberately false evidence until days before trial, he will recover only nominal damages,” wrote the judge.

He should be charged with perjury. Why are the courts letting him submit fraudulent evidence with no consequences?

In a U.S. case anyway the judge said he lied under oath but was not going to sanction him because he claims he has Asperger’s.

In fact, any bizarre behavior he gets caught with he throws up his hands and says, “Asperger’s!!!”

I saw one of the analysts of the Depp vs Heard trial explain why perjury is hard.

It requires you to prove deliberate intent. The bar is a lot higher to prevent punishing mistakes.
