Good news for a change!
Per the article:
“the compensatory and punitive damage awards totalling, after reduction under Ohio tort reform law, $25 million, plus over $6 million in attorney’s fees, bringing the judgment to over $32 million, and (2) the cross-appeal by Gibson’s Bakery and two members of the Gibson family (including the widow of the late David Gibson) seeking to restore the full $33 million punitive damages award, arguing the tort reform reduction was unconstitutional, which would add back about $15 million to the judgment.”
Sahweet
I bet the students were attending Oberlin with all bills paid - tuition, housing, food, health insurance and given a stipend. They didn’t need to steal, they just wanted to.
A right and proper ruling.
A just ruling for once.
Wonderful news. Sad the the two patriarchs died before they saw final justice.
I need to drive up there and spend a little money.
Six years later...
Weird how big media hasn’t talked about this in their news cycle
The award secuired on appeal by Gibsons Bakery was just over 31 million dollars, including lawyer fees and court costs on the”punitive damages” scale. The two seniors who initiated the litigation have now passed away and so they were not vindicated while alive. Whats more three elected women Appeal Court judges decided the case.Also unusual.
Oberlin is one of the most screwed up liberal fascist colleges in the West, but it has a huge endowment fund that will now take a well justified hit.
Sweet! The icing on the cake.
NICE!
HAHA..
Our country was founded for one type of people (makers) - unfortunately, we now have two types (makers and takers).
Best news all day.
Six years ago.
Wow, I remember this well. Just wish I knew where the six years went...LOL.
Wondering if any of the INDIVIDUALS responsible will suffer any consequences.
Does the payout - any part of it - come from the wrongdoers, or does it come from the taxpayers?
I’d wage the latter.
No wonder liberals are so emboldened.
Sick, and unfair.
Pinging everyone who posted lead articles about this case previously. Ping your lists!
This case has dragged on for 12 long years. Raimondo should have been fired years ago for malicious action - and then sued personally.
Oberlin may take this to the Ohio Supreme Court so this may not be over yet.
Note to self.
Spend an hr on the phone with a good lawyer instead of a dollar on a cap.
Sounds like wise thinking in the long run.
