Well, each of us can claim agreement with at least one federal judge. I doubt the case will be appealed, because by now, the expense of the case already probably exceeds the original judgment.

The Hartford does not want the legal precedent, so they might appeal, but the widow will likely not get any amount of money after the lawyers bills.

On the surface Hartford took an incredible position. They posited that this man's choice of suicide methods was unspeakably painful, and would necessarily and intentionally result w him being known to posterity as the man who was found dead, half naked in the basement w his genitals hooked up to a lethally sadistic electrical device. Anybody who sincerely believes that is either gullible or just plain clueless [about not only human nature, but about auto-eroticism as well].

The insurance co. doesn't care if their narrative is plausible or not. Their goal is simply to protect the bottom line. I.e.: rather than admit the obvious: that a sexual deviant accidentally killed himself, they threw everything they had at the widow and children. From a secular perspective, such a business plan certainly makes perfect sense. I wouldn't personally want to answer for it on Judgment Day, however.
