Mr. Barham said that it would be up to the judge who adjudicated the case to determine what penalties the UNC system will have to pay or what they will have to do to remedy their mistreatment of Dr. Adams. He said the jury deliberated less than two hours before finding for Dr. Adams because the case against the university system was so strong. He was asked what the university would do in response to the ruling and he declined to speak for them since he was not representing them. He said UNCW's lawyers and the UNC system lawyers were involved in representing the school which he said was standard practice in cases like this one.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. I hope the judge’s ruling in re: penalties, sends a loud message. I find it encouraging to learn the jury listened and deliberated with all due speed.
