Philippe Karsenty has been found liable in the case for relatively token amount. Bad news. Richard Landes has more with details forthcoming: Judgment against Philippe Karsenty: What Can Explain Such a Reversal?
I have heard from Paris that Philippe Karsenty was found liable for insulting Charles Enderlin and France2 to the sum of 3000 Euros to Enderlin and 5 symbolic Euros to France2. I do not have the judgment and only a vague account of the reasoning, which criticizes Philippe for not having done more research...
Update (and I'm bumping this up to the top of the blog): Landes has now translated and fisked an article from L'Express that purports to give some of the details of the court's decision though it has not been released to the public yet.: Kafka in Wonderland: L’Express weighs in
Update2: Pajamas Media looks to be rounding up info, here.
This is the verdict I expected. Why would ANYONE believe that the French judicial system is any less biased and corrupt than the rest of that country?
Is anyone really surprised that these conspiracy nuts are losing??
