No, not a joke - read the article. The jury asked the judge if it was possible to find for Churchill and award him $0 in compensation.
The judge told them basically “no, you must give him a minimum of $1 if you are going to find in favor.”
This is the jury’s way of slapping Churchill in the face. It is 100% certain that he will find out that they WANTED to give him ZERO in compensation, and know from it that they all thought him a complete POS.
What the jury ALSO effectively did is prevent Churchill from launching into a continuous cycle of appeals, abusing the courts and costing the University further monies.
They found in his favour - he cannot appeal that. Nor can he appeal the monetary award. The jurors very smartly (IMHO)prevented any further legal actions from this phony indian.
Not an “OJ jury” by ANY stretch of the imagination.

Well, only sorta. He has appeal rights from the restitution hearing.
Nice analysis. I think these folks were REASONED and fair.
( I’m not huge on “fair” )
And if the truth be told, CU DID deserve a slap on the wrist for not firing this fraud factory long BEFORE he mouthed out about 9/11. It’s not like he hadn’t done plenty to warrent firing before that. But it was only when the 9/11 stuff hit the national news, that CU’s administration got shoved off their butts to fire him like they knew full well they should have done long ago.
