Yesterday, a North Dakota jury found Greenpeace liable to pay the Dakota Access Pipeline developer Energy Transfer an eye-popping $660 million. Amnesty International just called the verdict "devastating" and said the ruling "sets an array of deeply damaging precedents on the rights to freedom of speech, association and peaceful protest." "There is no doubt that it will have a chilling effect on those campaigning to expose wrongdoing by powerful companies in the United States and all over the world."

I want to find a more in-depth legal analysis of this… was this the case that was based on RICO/racketeering law? Or maybe that was the other Greenpeace case against a lumber company? I talked to a Greenpeace lawyer about this at one point but I need to refresh my memory…
