I’d let Nurse Ratched give me a public colonoscopy for half of that judgment. This is ridiculous.

The manager was previously convicted for unlawful imprisonment in the matter. Doesn’t that have any relevance here? How can she get a judgement of over $1 mil? Isn’t it illegal for someone to profit off of their crime? Somebody please help me out here.

Perhaps we should understand WHY verdicts like this are handed down by a supposedly *intelligent* and impartial jury? Perhaps it’s because the only people that can actually SIT on a jury for a few months are the unemployed or the elderly. My employer wasn’t going to pay me for the time off, so why BE on the jury… therefore, you have juries awarding damages because it makes them feel like they’re GIVING free money away.. rather than making intelligent decisions.

The manager who actually oversaw what happened to the girl received a $1.1 million verdict today as well.

Simply incredible.
