#Greenpeace must pay at least $660m over #Dakota pipeline protests, says jury
@greenpeace, which will appeal decision, says lawsuits like this are aimed at ‘destroying the right to peaceful protest’
During jury selection, more than half the jurors selected had ties to the fossil fuel industry, and most had negative views of anti-pipeline protests or groups that oppose fossil fuel use.
Legal sources have said the case is a classic example of a #Slapp.

As stated in the article:
»Marty Garbus, a longtime first amendment lawyer who is part of the monitoring group, said: “In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against #Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota … Greenpeace has a very strong case on appeal. I believe there is a good chance it ultimately will win both in court and in the court of public opinion.”«
