I recommend you start getting your news from other sources, preferably multiple sources. What trials have started with a judge deciding guilt before evidence or testimony? I am not aware of any such case. If your source says that is happening, then it is a very unreliable source.

In this defamation trial, Giuliani had every opportunity to prove his case and chose not to do so. Here is some reading from the past few months with details you seem to have missed.

7/26/23 - Giuliani concedes he made defamatory statements about Georgia election workers - "Rudy Giuliani concedes he made defamatory statements about Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in an effort to resolve their lawsuit against him and to satisfy a judge who has considered sanctioning him." After accepting Giuliani's concession, the judge ordered him to turn over financial information and pay Freeman and Moss' attorney fees.
8/30/23 - Giuliani loses defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers - Loses case because he failed to respond to subpeonas and admitted that he "could no longer contest that he made false and defamatory statements about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss."
9/21/23 - (Rudy Giuliani snubbed judge’s order in defamation case, election worker says)[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/giuliani-snubbed-judges-order-defamation-case-election-worker-says-rcna111484] - He was ordered to provide financial information and pay attorney's fees and failed to do so.

None of these stories are hard to find. If you have not been seeing them, they you need to get out of your bubble and find some real news sites to visit.
