      While not with this case, because this case is civil, He’s on felony pretrial release on 4? other cases. If virtually ANY other defendent had said any number of the things he said, that pretrial release would be revoked and he would be in jail pending trial. His rights are extremely limited in the situation he is in and it’s well within the courts jurisdiction to limit the things he does all the way up to jailing him. That includes limiting his speech, house arrest, etc.

        Eh, while not normal, the things he’s said are rather typical of upset defendants, and most of those don’t find themselves behind bars for it either. You could search social media for people on trial for a lot of crimes and find them saying substantially similar claims about the system, prosecutors, or judges targeting them or having it in for them.

      His repeatedly engaging in various forms of fraud and intimidation provides a perfectly valid legal basis for those rights to be curtailed significantly.

      UnFortunately, dude still has rights, regardless of how many times he breaks the law, or makes a mockery of it.
