    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The decision on Friday comes at the end of a week-long federal civil trial in Washington, D.C., where an eight-person jury heard from the workers — Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman — about how 2020 election conspiracies spread by Giuliani and former President Donald Trump turned their lives upside down.

    Jurors heard numerous violent and racist voicemails the women received, after Giuliani used his massive platform as a campaign attorney for Trump to spread lies about their actions as election workers in Georgia.

    Speaking outside the court Friday after the verdict, Freeman said that money won’t bring back her past life or her name.

    It’s not the only legal trouble for Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor and two-term New York City mayor, related to his efforts to subvert Georgia’s 2020 election.

    I hope the federal government hangs you and your daughter from the Capitol dome," said one message Freeman received at the time.

    “Mr. Sibley has a hard job,” said Judge Howell at one point, after it came out that Giuliani had continued to lie about the women while talking to reporters on the courthouse steps earlier in the week.
