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!

The appeal court judgement tossing the appeal has now been formally entered per curiam. "Per curium" is legalese for "slam/dunk!" A "gimme" in golf. A "tap in" in Soccer. The Tennis equivalent would be standing at the net and powering the ball from a soft return downwards in an almost vertical fashion into the court and straight over the head of an opponent who was struggling to get back onto their feet after a 'diving around the net' shot. The subtext is "Stop wasting our time with your meritless assertions! The judge in the original case played a blinder" That is a sentiment with which I would concur!
