Wrong, I have actually sat on a jury in a case such as this, punitive damages are not dependent on criminal or malicious intent, not sure where you get that idea. In the case I sat on we heard all the plaintives' evidence and when the party being sued was supposed to present their defense they settled. It was a good thing they did, the jury was going to stick it to them and deservedly so.

Plus they had to hire security for many of their employees and the damage to their reputation and future sales can and will be taken into account.
One thing I really like about what Dominion is doing is putting these big mouths in the position to either defend their words with facts or admit that they are nothing more than Liars, wondering how it will take before trump gets his paperwork notifying him that once again he is being sued.

Yep. I'm not a lawyer, but this seems to clearly be per se defamation, they are accusing Dominion, with zero proof, of participating in a criminal conspiracy to commit massive voter fraud. I haven't seen the lawsuit, but I'll bet they are claiming per se defamation. As for punitive damages, TA doesn't have a clue. The JURY awards punitive damages, not the judge. And they have wide discretion to do so.

They'll have a hard time with that too since there are many, many people at various levels saying stuff about Dominion and their machines being hacked, operating incorrectly, etc. All Lindell would have to do to beat that is show those statements in court and ask why Dominion isn't suing every last one of those persons too. What I'm saying isn't a defense of what Lindell said, only that Dominion has a very steep hill to climb to prove defamation. Lindell can talk smack about Dominion right up until it hurts their bottom line, and they have to prove it did.
For per se defamation, you still need fairly clear evidence that you will be hurt in the future by those statements. I don't think Dominion is faced with orders cancelled or customers saying they're going elsewhere at this point. There aren't very many companies making voting machines so it should be easy to prove or disprove future harm.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!! Go ahead and try that one in court. Just plain dumb. The lawyers would be laughed out of court if they actually tried to make such a claim. I can sue or not sue whoever the fuck I want to if they defamed me. And once again, you obviously don't understand per se. It means that the statement is so egregious that damages are assumed. You do not have to prove them. Can you read?

Their reputation is damaged. That's why it's called 'per se'. You know what 'per se' means, right? So, you admit that the statements are so hyperbolic that they are wrong? Can I assume that's your position? You don't believe the lies that are still being told by Trump and his cronies?

Wrong. What other ppl are saying is inadmissible in court as hearsay. Lindell, in order to be successful, will have to provide valid evidence of doctored voting machines, as well as valid evidence of the alleged conspiracy to defraud the voters and corrupt the voting process. The burden will fall upon him to show that what he has been claiming is the truth. All Dominion has to show is 1) Lindell said ___ and ___ and ___, and 2) that his words caused the company harm (loss of sales, damaged reputation, threats to company employees, etc.)
