"Who are these people that sit on these juries and award these ridiculous settlements?"

Idiots who are placed in a position to make emotional decisions to ruin people, and make layers rich. Sure, it's terrible that the kid got killed by the drunk driver, but the company selling the beer didn't force the guy to drink or force the guy to drive a car.

Pure BS. I hope they successfully appeal this award.

I am for total tort reform but I say this little girl the other day in the news and it is pitiful....is it worth 105 million.......I don't think so....but saying that, the vendors were pouring this guy beer hand over fist and I think were complicit in his intoxication. He couldn't remember much after 12 beers, his admission, and he drank alot more than that....and she wasn't killed, she is paralyzed with a ventilator and totally helpless. Too much award money for sure but the Aramark vendors sure are in viloation of selling and selling when this guy was obviously fu**** up..............

Yes, but there's a rule about selling more than two beers at a time to a fan, and the vendor tool a $10 bribe and sold him six at a time, even though they knew it was wrong and against the stadium rules.

He says he also is troubled by a ruling that prevented him from telling the jury that Antonia was belted, but not in a car seat,

Sorry but mom and pop share in the liability here. I'm almost willing to bet that if the 2 year old had been in a proper car seat she would never have been that severly injured.
