It can clear the bar for exceptional without falling into the equivalent of “infinite damages”. $100 million is substantially less deterring than $1 billion?
A fallible human legal system that condemns people to Hell, and pulls random damages numbers out of the air, deserves to be treated like a laughingstock of justice.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoGiven the general lack of infallible human institutions the US legal system is hardly unique in it's failings, and while it's certainly open to critique I have to question what about this instance offends you? Alex Jones minted fuck you money basically torturing some of the most traumatized people in the country and then more or less dared the court. Given the gross nature of his violations of acceptable ethical behavior I'm having difficulty mustering any outrage on his behalf for all of the same reasons I have no concern for Jeffery Dahmer's prison conditions. So what's the issue here?
