yes, it says that Mr. Bonacci was granted 800,000 dollars in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages in the civil action by default.
but, why wouldn't King have been allowed to represent himself in that case?
He had already filed a plea that he would not have to appear in court.
The definition of default in wiki gives this;
In a civil trial involving damages, a default judgment will enter the amount of damages pled in the original complaint. If proof of damages
is required, the court may schedule another hearing on that issue.
A defendant can have a default judgment vacated, or set aside, by filing a motion, after the judgment is entered, by showing of a proper
excuse.
The court apparently had ENOUGH evidence of damages and King didn't file to have it vacated or set aside!
A LOT of evidence was NOT released by the FBI after they took over for the court to look through!
Also, Spence was found guilty of sexual assault and Bauer was found guilty of pandering for prostitution.
At any rate, I'm going to take my endeavors to the most recent thread by
