Judges Seem Unsympathetic to SF Weekly’s Appeal

An attempt by the SF Weekly to overturn a $20-plus million verdict awarded to the San Francisco Bay Guardian appears to be in jeopardy. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a three-judge appellate panel appeared to be more sympathetic to arguments made by the Guardian’s lawyer during oral arguments last Friday. The Guardian contends that the SF Weekly is attempting to rewrite California law in getting the huge verdict thrown out.
