Comment on US judge upholds $243 million verdict against Tesla over fatal Autopilot crash
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days agoAppeals aren’t an infinite thing. Each appeal goes to a higher court, and eventually will reach the SCOTUS. And at any point, the respective appellate court can refuse to accept the appeal, essentially saying that they agree with the lower court’s ruling and leaving it in effect.

You are describing the courts like how they are supposed to work, not how they work. They are biased in favor of the powerful. Whether the law was applied correctly doesn’t matter so much as who is the company appealing, and perhaps what consideration they can provide under the table.
It’s a lot more corrupt than you would lead us to believe here, courts by and large think the republic is already dead in all but name, the higher up the chain you go the more that’s true.
