For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
Particularly gratifying to see that the appeal judges were in no way persuaded that the outrageous lies he told concerning his (non functional and very probably non existent) Covid saliva test kit (over which he has never actually been charged) should in any way mitigate for the lies he told concerning his non functional and totally non existent Covid blood test kit - over which he was charged and plead guilty. To find otherwise would have been perverse. This was kind of like a burglar offering up a defence of alibi, on the basis that at the specific time the prosecution purported he was supposed to be breaking and entering upon premises A, he can establish that he was in fact was breaking and entering at premises B, elsewhere!
Happily, both the trial judge and the appeal panel somehow succeeded in nailing Berman's jello to the wall securely, for which they are to be commended!
