100% agree. They were both wrong, this trial was stupid and unnecessary and Virginia really needs to close the loophole that allows this sort of case to even be brought to trial.[/quote]

? what "loophole"?[/quote]

DP.  I’m not sure if this is what pp was referring to, but Virginia has a very weak anti-SLAPP statute, and it can only be asserted as a defense in the merits, not as grounds for dismissal at the outset.  California’s is much stronger and does allow a defendant to assert it as grounds for dismissal at the outset.  That is why JD filed the suit in Virginia rather than California, because in California AG probably could have gotten it dismissed as a SLAPP suit right out of the gate. [/quote]

Sure but how the eff is that a "loophole." There's plenty of reason to criticize the CA anti-SLAPP statute too. [/quote]
It’s not a loophole, but it makes the Virginia statute pretty toothless, which JD decided to exploit.

The decision that Virginia had jurisdiction over this case was garbage. [/quote]
