#MyPillow CEO's legal counsel Christopher Kachouroff and Jennifer DeMaster were excortiated by a Federal Judge and fined by court after violating court rules by turning in #ArtificialIntelligence generated legal motions with nearly 30 defective citations, including bogus cites of non existent case law.
The attorneys were retained while taking #MikeLindell for an expensive ride, as he unsucessfully fought another losing legal battle where a jury recently found him liable for false claims about the 2020 #election and defamation against voting machine mfgrs.
Prior to issuing the fines, U.S. District Judge Nina Wang ordered Lindell, and his legal team to demonstrate why they should not face #court sanctions and be referred for disciplinary action. Kachouroff issued a rebuke that the judge said attempted to "shift responsibility" and his filing was "both troubling and not well-taken."
In a 20-page #ruling issued Monday, July 7th the judge made clear that their breeches of #ProfessionalConduct and #Legal standards by the #Virginia based law firm McSweeney Cynkar & #Kachouroff were unacceptable to the court. In partcular the federal court circuit judge called out Kachouroff for trying to shirk responsibilty for the matter, when another filng he was involved in after this case in #Wisconsin was also found to have similar #AI generated errors.
Lindell's other sanctioned #attorney Jennifer Tavares Breedon DeMaster, who received her JD at an #evangelical law school in #VirginiaBeach and is author of the book " #Babylon Unveiled : Redefining Faith. Exposing Deception," told jurors that Lindell's false claims were protected by the #constitution in an animated and rambling closing argument made against a so-called “Ministry of Truth” built for suppressing US #ElectionRgging claims.
