Oberlin has the legal right to appeal, which takes roughly two years.

I think they are also liable for post judgement interest on $32 million.
I could not find the amount for Ohio but most states it is between 10 and 12%.
WHOOT! Slapdown, legally wacked em right upside the head real good.
Ohio is 5.5%, and the parties agreed on that.
If Oberlin were smart, which they obviously are not, they would contact the Bakery and ask, "How many millions will you settle for." If Oberlin had did this a long time ago they could have gotten off relatively cheap. Now the final settlement will not be cheap. Say hello to "Miss Karma."
"Miss Karma" is double bladed insane bitch with a bad attitude and a razor sharp sword and a shiv hidden under her belt. Oberlin is now meeting 'Miss Karma."
I love it!
Yup. What motivated the college? They should have admitted to their wrongs and then offered to make good.
Yet, they didn’t and for that reason I wish them the worst and hope that they go under with the administrators the first to lose their jobs. They should be able to raise the buildings a fill it in with corn fields.
I saw that happen. I was on a jury 30+ years ago and we awarded several million $$$ from UPS to a defendant. After about 2 years of delays and non-payment by UPS, the defendant’s lawyer went to the airport with a local sheriff and the court documents.
This lawyer had the sheriff take ownership of a UPS JET sitting right on the tarmac.
Within a few hours UPS was able to write the defendant a check for the judgement amount, plus interest!

awesome!
You mean, like a citizen, a person?
I thought lefties were staunchly against the idea that corporations be treated as "persons" by the judicial system. Isn't that what Citizens United was all about?
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

It would just be a matter of a judge ordering an attachment of all bank accounts and the extraction of such funds until the payment was satisfied. The college couldn’t do anything about it.
They could always offer a settlement at anytime, sign the agreements, get the judge to sign off(if the judge isn’t torked with the college for messing with him) as long as the family agrees. I’d go with an amount that guaranteed me 10 million dollars free and clear AFTER taxes were taken out.
Remember when the Black Lives Matter movement started? In Cleveland, there were no black Cleveland residents that the TV interviewers could find. It was mostly spoiled brat know-it-alls bused in from Oberlin enabling the manipulators who started it all.
I'd be willing to give a few dollars toward legal expenses of the bakery. Does anyone know if there's a trustworthy option to do so?
Just a guess. They're self-righteous SOBs.
If Oberlin were smart, they would have given the apology the bakery was looking for in the beginning. But they’re not. Oberlin is about to be millions poorer because they got woke.
