Tfw your client sends the judge an angry letter saying that if people are allowed to make fun of him it might interfere with people working in his coal mines

The coal baron who sued John Oliver for making fun of him personally sent a letter to the judge, claiming workers' jobs depend on his personal reputation

Bob Murray Is At It Again

First, Bob Murray threatened to sue John Oliver for being mean to him. Then, Bob actually did sue John Oliver for being mean to him. Eventually, the judge in the lawsuit rightfully decided to dismiss the case.

But if you think that’s where the comedic gold ends, you’re wrong. ... Last month, Bob Murray sent a letter to the judge, complaining about his case being dismissed. In it, he complained about receiving “multiple insulting and threatening email and telephone messages,” including “Consume defecation, Bob.”

The judge, rightfully, forwarded a copy of the letter to John Oliver’s lawyers and posted the original letter on the case’s docket, making it public record. ... Both the judge’s letter and Bob’s letter are works of art. Read both here.

Below is a statement from ACLU of WV Legal Director, Jamie Lynn Crofts on this latest development:

“Other than the fact that Bob Murray’s case against John Oliver is a ridiculous attempt to quell speech by abusing our legal system, it really is the gift that keeps on giving. With the disdain Mr. Murray has shown for our constitution and our legal system, I’m not surprised that he would also improperly try to influence a judge in this way (or with such a hilarious letter). Unfortunately for Bob, everything John Oliver has said on his show was and continues to be protected speech. It is, in fact, legal for anyone to say, ‘Consume defecation, Bob.'”

1. Coal baron mocked by John Oliver sends rambling, self-pitying letter to judge

I have been following this case for a while. The ACLU of West Virginia's amicus brief was amazing. Here is the latest https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/coal-baron-mocked-john-oliver-sends-rambling-self-pitying-letter-judge/

The West Virginia coal baron whose practices were mocked by John Oliver and a giant squirrel sent a hilarious letter of protest to the judge who dismissed his defamation suit, according to the ACLU of West Virginia.

Bob Murray was labeled “a geriatric Dr. Evil” in an episode of Oliver’s HBO show, which highlighted incidents like a 2007 collapse caused by unauthorized mining practices in Utah which killed six miners, and which Murray claimed at the time was caused by an “earthquake.”

“The jobs of our 6,000 coal miners depend on me and my reputation,” the letter said. “I am a dying old man, but our employees will suffer as a result of your decision.”

Murray also complained of getting mocked by the show’s fans in letters that said things like “consume defecation, Bob” and “congrats on having HBO make you look like a big fat lardass loser in court. Idiot.”

The judge noted that Murray’s letter constituted improper contact with the judge, and the judge warned Murray and his attorneys to not send another lest he face sanctions from the court.
