Judge in Hunter Biden case sued over underage drinking party, alleged beating

Wilson alleges that one of the guests, Jackson Dorlarque, assaulted him and struck “his head and body on a curb on the Scarsi property.” From the beating, Wilson lost consciousness, sustained a traumatic brain injury, and had to be hospitalized for more than two weeks, according to the lawsuit. The suit contends that a “major” cut to Wilson’s face has left permanent scarring that “will require” plastic surgery.

Then-President Trump appointed Scarsi, 59, to the federal bench in 2020. Before assuming his lifetime appointment, Scarsi was a prominent patent and intellectual property attorney.

From his courtroom in downtown L.A., he has presided over high-profile matters, including two cases brought by special counsel David Weiss: the prosecution of Hunter Biden and a separate prosecution of a former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov.

Recently, Scarsi gained national attention after he penned a rebuke of President Biden’s reasons for issuing a “full and complete” pardon of his son, Hunter.

Turns out the "Hunter deserves jail" judge had an underage rager at his Pasadena mansion. I am surprised LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong let them run this story. Probably just a momentary lapse in his fascist control of the paper.

Here's an alternative link if you want to read the full story without giving LA Times the clicks:

4. He was the judge for both Hunter AND Alexander Smirnov?

I am interested enough to type that out but not enough to read more. Just passing through.

7. Smirnov cut a plea deal with prosecutors, so Scarsi had little involvement.

Smirnov had been jailed since he was indicted in February. He faces up to 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine for the four counts. But federal sentencing guidelines call for a term of four to six years in prison when U.S. District Judge Otis Wright sentences him. Smirnov also agreed to pay $2.15 million in back taxes. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/12/16/alexander-smirnov-pleads-guilty-hunter-biden/77022841007/

So Scarsi won't even be doing the sentencing apparently.

5. Family values.

But the "family values" meme flew out the republican door when they started electing rapists and other criminals to office.

9. Thanks for the link! Wow, Scarsi is an even bigger piece of shit than I thought. nt

10. I wonder if Republicons used that to

"convince" the judge to take on Hunter's case and swing it and shove him into prison.

2 high profile cases that have trumps fingerprints all over them.

11. This whole Hunter Biden scandal was just to get ratings for Sean Hannity.

That's it.
