In the 80s Arnett Thomas was sent to prison for murder (probably involving drugs). Rather than serving his time behind bars dithering and waiting, Thomas began studying law. The prison library, as award-winning journalist Mike Kelly tells it, became Thomas’s own personal lecture hall. And the self-taught lawyer quickly recorded successes, even achieving changes to the rules governing solitary confinement. Now Thomas wants more: More specifically, a trillion dollars! And that from Donald Trump.
Together with now more than 75 co-plaintiffs, he wants to see the former president of the United States held accountable for his downplaying of the Corona pandemic. He accuses Trump of being partly responsible for the deaths of more than half a million people who have since died from the coronavirus.
