For context, a statement from the legal experts who monitored the trial.

> It is our collective assessment that the jury verdict against Greenpeace in North Dakota reflects a deeply flawed trial with multiple due process violations that denied Greenpeace the ability to present anything close to a full defense.

Why should I care what they think? Seriously, I'm so tired of seeing XYZ totally real and credentialed expert non government organization pop up in weird appeals to authority. They couldn't even be bothered to monitor any other trials for this one, this looks to be the only thing they've ever done.

And a statement from legal experts monitoring this group https://pastebin.com/EEsEXbcz

Apparently, according to this source, trial monitors.org is a fake organization. There is some evidence that this is a credible accusation.
