Georgia election worker Shaye Moss took the stand in the defamation trial against Rudy Giuliani, giving a haunting testimony of the ways the former New York City mayor’s lies and the ensuing harassment ruined her life and affected her family.
Moss told the court she was a “bubbly, outgoing, happy Shaye” before she first became aware of lies Giuliani was spreading about her – and that threats left her feeling scared for her life. She recalled how she started receiving racist text messages and threats. “I was afraid for my life. I literally felt like someone was going to come and attempt to hang me and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”
Moss also told the court how her life has been ruined and she often still feels like she is being followed. She doesn’t go out alone and has panic attacks. She had to leave her job because she says she became a “pariah” in the office. Moss told the court her ordeal has left her feeling “in a dark place”.
Giuliani’s mental fitness was questioned by the judge after he again told lies about Moss and Ruby Freeman in response to media questions after court last night. His comments entered into the court case Tuesday when Moss brought up how he had never apologized and continued to lie about her.
Moss will be back on the stand at 2pm in Washington for cross-examination from Giuliani’s attorney.
I want to note that there are plenty of things people, particularly people in the justice system, could do to alleviate her concerns, but chose not to.
I hope she gets justice, to the extend the court can give it.
Giuliani is a criminal with zero consideration to the well being of others. He will unjustly harm anybody if it furthers his agenda.There’s no fine that could make them whole and Rudy definitely doesn’t have enough money to pay them back even if we were able to put a monetary amount to their ruined lives.
Still, I hope they get every penny that can be drained from Giuliani.
I hope that traitor Giuliani ends up broke and homeless.
It’s a real shame that people like Rudles and OJ (and Bannon, and Flynn and…) are still walking around free and not in prison.
Here’s a big lie Rudy pushed when he was New York City Mayor. In his version, he saved the life of a child from an uncaring and unprofessional ambulance crew. In reality, Rudy is the one who endangered the child by interfering.
