Justin Bieber sanctioned by judge
- 6 years ago
Justin Bieber has been banned from defending himself in his upcoming trial over egging a neighbour's house.
The 'What Do You Mean?' singer previously paid out $80,000 to repair damages from the 2014 vandalism but he's being sued by homeowner Jeff Schwartz for compensation over the alleged distress they suffered afterwards and he's been sanctioned by a judge after failing to sit for a deposition over the matter.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, after missing the meetings several times, the judge has now declared that, as the 24-year-old singer didn't sit to answer questions in the deposition, he "will not be allowed to testify on his own defense".
And the jury in his trial will be told Justin "refused to appear for his deposition" and the court will be told as fact that the 'Believe' hitmaker is liable for the egging and he did it "with malice".
