$4M is a repercussion for spending years making up conspiracy theories and targetting the families of dead children. Also note that this is compensitory damages only, and hasn't even touch on punitive damagers yet.
It has nothing to do with his perjury.
- superb-owl 4y agoYeah for sure. My impression though is that the perjury played a role in the decision here though...the opposing counsel definitely made a point of highlighting it over and over.
- khuey 4y agoPunitive damages are capped at low amounts in Texas and may not happen at all since they require unanimity (which the jury did not have on the compensatory verdict).
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Punitive damages are capped at low amounts in Texas Low multiples of compensatory damages would be more accurate.
- dragonwriter 4y agoAlso, this isn't a suit covering all the Sandy Hook families; I think to covers two. There are at least two other suits already in progress from other families on similar grounds
