Not Guilty
Filed under: Anglophilia > Legal Matters > Sacha Baron Cohen
Sacha Baron Cohen is one lucky guy.
A judge has just tossed out a defamation lawsuit by Jeffrey Lemerond, who appeared in the 2006 film Borat, being chased down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
Lemerond, a financial analyst, was suing for unspecified damages.
In the movie, Lemerond is shown as he runs away from Borat, who portrays a fake Kazakhstan journalist who's trying to hug strangers, and yells for Borat to "Go away!"
The Federal judge, Loretta Preska, concluded that although the movie had somewhat of a childish humor and was a bit vulgar, it also attempts an ironic commentary and is newsworthy.
Sacha is a free man. For now.
Until Bruno!

Re: r is going to die! – What a terrible thing to say!
He looks like Sylar (Zachary Quinto) in that picture.
Sacha Baron Cohen is a legend.
the guy wanted money.
sacha is so hot. god.
I like the guy better, basically the same scene that says, "Yeah, you kiss me and I'll pop you in the fucking balls, okay?
this guy is a douche trying to sue he signed a release
that was a very funny part in the movie the guy sighned a release so he has no right to sue ,,,,,what a douche
man he looks extremely jewish
I would think one embroiled in so many legal actions would understand the difference between CRIMINAL and CIVIL law — there is no such thing as "not guilty" in a defamation suit. He is not liable for damages to the other party. Only criminal actions, in which the government charges someone with the violation of a statute, can end in a finding of "not guilty." The fact that none of your other readers have pointed this out shows how many morons visit this site. Me included!
VERY NICE!!! WE LIKE!!
A free man? Not guilty? All terms that don't apply to a civil suit (which defamation is). Annoying!!
what does the word "shwon" mean?
i somehow doubt he would go to prison for this.

Lemerond must be a closet homo. Fuck him. I hope no one uses him ever for being such a whiny ass bitch.
OyVey! How long do I have to wait for a
tongue sandwich and a Dr. Brown's
Cel-Ray soda? I'm so hungry I can eat my own
kishkes!
Plaintiff: Ahh… get away from me… get away… don't come near me… help… help!
Weenie got bitchslapped in court… right on, judge!
Perez—this is a defamation suit. Of course Baron is "Not Guilty." Even if the jury found he had defamed, the proper term is "liable". This is not a criminal case..there is no criminal penalty or jail time for defamation….
"Sacha Baron Cohen is one lucky guy"

Lucky?! Have you even SEEN the movie Perez? And more specifically, the part that this guy was in? It was a stupid lawsuit that was NEVER going anywhere. Luck had nothing to do with it you fucking moron.
Perez, why are you coughing up this talentless hairball? His movies wasn't funny and neither is he.
he looks like amy winehouses elder brother.
here..here although i was disappointed…the a.h.f. movie was better and that was ridiculous….
Shwon? Isn't that something the King of Pop periodically yelps?
once you are famous, money will buy anything
OY-GIVALT MY COLON IS IN DEFAULT
that was a pointless lawsuit. the whole thing was just a big joke, and the guy who sued sasha is an idiot
This is how you know ……………THAT THIS WEBSITE IS RUN BY RETARDS!!!!!!
It is a CIVIL TRIAL!!!!! There is NOOOOOO such thing as a Not Guilty charge in a civil trial and even if he was found liable he WOULD NOT go to jail. So your comment of "he's free for now" is a moronic statement. With so many young people around the world that visit this site I wish this site would take more responsibility for the inaccuracies they publish.
