Palast interviews Roger Waters after Steven Donziger was sentenced to 6 months

At Steven Donziger's sentencing hearing in New York yesterday, when Judge Preska referred to Seward & Kissel’s lawyer Rita Glavin as "the government” and the case as “United States v. Donziger”, Donziger’s defense attorney, Ron Kuby, corrected her in no uncertain terms: “I understand the confusion, but they are not, nor have they ever been, the government.” In this clip, Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd), who’s been a longtime supporter of Donziger’s, talks about the private law firm prosecuting the human rights lawyer at huge pubic expense. For the first time in US history in such a case, Donziger — who fought Chevron oil and won a $9.5 billion judgement in Ecuador for the poisoning of indigenous lands — was prosecuted not by the US Justice Department, but by a private law firm, who also happened to have had Chevron as a client.
