Charter Communications must pay out $7 billion in damages after one of its Spectrum cable technicians robbed and killed an elderly woman, a jury decided Tuesday.
Betty Thomas, 83, was stabbed to death by Roy Holden Jr in December 2019. He had dropped by her home in Irving, Texas, on a service call after she reported a problem with her internet-TV bundle, and returned the next day in his company uniform and van, inviting himself in and killing her using his Spectrum-issued gloves and utility knife.
She was found dead by her family on her living room floor after she didn't show up to a Christmas and birthday party that night.
Holden pleaded guilty to murder last year and was sentenced to life behind in bars.

Unless the law recently changed, a “life” sentence in Texas is only ten years.
To: Governor Dinwiddie
A life sentence is too good for that subhuman piece of garbage.
To: aspasia
I think that amount is likely to be reduced. Substantially.

Yep….
Likely to be radically reduced. Unless Charter has stupid lawyers.
To: Mr. K
The family won’t get that.
But the lawyers will all make out like bandits.
