The headline is not great because Google will obviously appeal the ruling to the appeals court of DC, and if they have to, the Supreme Court.

A lot can happy from now and then. And this may take many years to grind through the court system.

I wonder if there exists AI models of all the super senior and important judges so we can venture how this will play out through the court system.

There are ways if could be, such as new evidence coming to light, but generally no. You don't want a system where people are punished for appealing.

I definitely anal but I am curious if this applies to civil lawsuits. This is a civil antitrust lawsuit, right? We never were seeking prison time for the CEO?

Yes; presumably their appeal will not raise issues where that is likely, but as is often the case in high-stakes civil litigation where neither side got what they wanted at trial, both sides are appealing this decision, and the government’s appeal no doubt will attenpt to raise issues that would present the possibility of things being worse for Google.
