I recommend you start getting your news from other sources, preferably multiple sources. What trials have started with a judge deciding guilt before evidence or testimony? I am not aware of any such case. If your source says that is happening, then it is a very unreliable source.

In this defamation trial, Giuliani had every opportunity to prove his case and chose not to do so. Here is some reading from the past few months with details you seem to have missed.

• 8/30/23 - Giuliani loses defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers - Loses case because he failed to respond to subpeonas and admitted that he “could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.”
