They’re probably willing to spend $40,000,000 to challenge this and put the family out of business.
I bet they offer the Gibsons a generous amount to sell the store, seal the details of the settlement, and turn the property into an “indigenous people’s cultural enrichment center,” or some such.
They absolutely can. But that order is subject to appeal.
WOW!!!
Nah — that’s trial. Right now, they’re at the “oh shit we may be screwed” phase.
Democrat thugs.
Yes, a judge can. It's called "Judgment notwithstanding the verdict" or "JNOV" for short. It can only be done if the jury has clearly gone haywire, however. This jury verdict for $11m in damages is clearly not a jury gone haywire. If the jury awarded another billion for punitive damages that would certainly provide a good argument for JNOV, though in this case I would certainly applaud such an award.
It’s the liberal way - keep going til you get the answer you want.
Wymyns college.
Nuf said right there.
Oberlin is guilty of being a leftist craphole, just as Antioch was, Wellesley, Sarah Lawrence, etc. Check their activities and Marxist leaders/professors since the 1960’s and you’ll see what I mean.
Ohio.
John Boehner and Lena Dunham Country.
Since the jury is still impaneled it seems as though this would be a reversible error. If the judge decides there was an error on his part.
Yes, Oberlin is one of the true Cathedrals of the American Left. See what they do.
Hopefully a big enough blip to teach them a lesson.
“I’m no lawyer but been involved in a few cases over the years. Maybe it varies by states but this question of breaking down the damages should have been objected to when they wrote the jury instructions.”
The judge will not be happy with the defense tactics. He will sting them.
Pretty sure the guys there get vagina cards.
“Holman argued the lack of a breakdown of how much money was based on which claim would make it impossible for Miraldi to instruct the jury on how much money they could award in punitive damages.”
If such a breakdown is actually required, Miraldi could easily cure the problem by instructing the jury to first write out a breakdown of the compensatory damages by claim, then proceed to consider the punitive damages. D’oh!
They didnt review the verdict form prior to giving it over to tthe jury?
That wojld have been the time to.object.
They seem to don’t they.
