    From what I understand, the economic and non economic damages have no caps. This portion of the lawsuit accounted for $4 million. The punitive damages do have a cap because a felony was not involved.

    why do you keep misrepresenting what I have said? Where have I apologized for Jones? do you constantly misrepresent what others say because you cannot actually intelligently debate their actual points?

    What did I "misrepresent"?

    If you're not careful with your posts that's not anybody else's fault.

    Sidetracking your own thread? Sad!

    Looks like Alex deliberately lied, a LOT, hurt a lot of folks, and now he has to pay up. More of this, please.

    I am not defending Jones and you damn well know that; I am attacking an excessive and illegal punitive damage award

    the court has a duty to limit the Punitive Damages to the state limit

    should the punitive damages be higher for someone who killed others?

    That only applies when the judge renders its final judgment per the law if the facts and circumstances apply. However, because Jones was sued personally and because one of the allegations was possible criminal activity, then the limit may not apply.

    When the judge signs the final order, that is when the limit may or may not apply per Civil Code 41.008. Once it is signed, then the person can appeal. Usually, trial civil courts do not give rulings on the matter.

    Does that apply to CNN, and everyone else that Phillips talked with, for the Nick Sandmann incident or other wrongful news stories?

    Yep because it encouraged people to literally terrorize parents grieving for their murdered children. Actually raping then killing small kids would be the worst, killing small children next then terrorizing the parents of those children third. Mass random murders and slavery are after them.

    You would compare mocking a little jack*** with assaulting or encouraging the assault of parents grieving a lost child?

    Do get a life, you'll be surprised.

    Did you also notice that they want all of us to run through the streets picketing and protesting when they feel hurt or harmed but they do not give even a nanosecond pause for what it might feel like in somebody else's moccasins. That takes a lot of audacity. /smdh

    shouldn't the people who actually did the terrorizing be the ones liable as well?

    Of course, you got their names? Friends of yours perhaps? Do your civic duty and turn them over to the police, their actions were actually criminal.

    What kind of question is that? He engaged in that conduct, and he was civilly punished for it via verdict.

    Ah, I see that your standards are only good for terrorists you object to and you don't care that people terrorize kids who hold views opposite of yours. Not only that, you think that it's ok to openly mock kids that have been terroized. Nice.

    ...in a sham proceeding that violated virtually all the rules of legal proceedings. They are trying to do to Jones what they've done to Julian Assange. Will they be equally successful? Only time will tell.

    Umm, yeah. That doesn't sound nuts.

    What did the court do incorrectly, Perry Mason?

    That will become apparent during the appeal process.

    If you have appellate issues those are apparent during the pretrial and trial processes.

    That's what you're appealing, after all.

    So, what you're doing is guessing. And guessing badly.

    I hope you realize that ignorance is not a viable argument and that is simply an ignorant thing to say.
