Joe Carollo's bid to overturn a $63.5 million verdict has been rejected by a federal appeals court. The court dismissed his claims of jury tampering and denied the request for a retrial. This decision concludes a long legal battle involving accusations that Carollo misused his public office in disputes with local businessmen. The plaintiffs, William Fuller and Martin Pinilla, expressed satisfaction with the ruling, viewing it as a victory for fairness and democracy. Carollo's legal team has yet to provide comments on the ruling.
"We are encouraged but not surprised by the U.S. Court of Appeals' clear rejection of Joe Carollo's baseless appeal. This isn't just a legal victory; it's a win for every resident and business owner who believes in fairness, democracy, and the First Amendment."
"A three-judge panel submitted its 19-page opinion that shot down Carollo's claims of jury tampering and dismissed his request for the $63 million verdict to be remitted."
