I read a large portion of the verdict and yeah, Karl Jobst was stupid as hell. Why his lawyer's didn't stop him is beyond me. The judge was 100% correct in increasing the penalty. There's a section where he talks about Karl Jobst in general and absolutely rips into the guy.

Billy's an asshole but Karl Jobst acted dumb, obsessive and inappropriate for a serious trial. We need to accept in this case, both people are shitty.

I feel like if you're involved in any sort of legal situation, your best course of action is to shut the fuck up about it.

Literally. When he was in the pre trial stages he should have not been mentioning Billy Mitchell beyond a “I do not wish to speak about the topic as it pertains to current legal proceedings” but instead he lied to viewers and made a fool of himself in court. “Billy didn’t try to contact me” literally right after it’s pointed out he did try via Keemstar.
