25.6 million seems a little steep.

I expect the amount will be appealed.

Part of me cheers and part of me weeps.

Punitive "awards" can be used against good people too. We ought to get rid of them.

she was not the manager of the store. The manager of the store was black and received no punishment.

The woman awarded the verdict managed the region of some 100 or so stores in four states including the Philadelphia area.

Reading the whole article you’ll see that she has FAR better self control and good business management skills to ever allow that to happen to her.

Glad she won; but the punitive damages are excessive. And punitive damages are generally a bad idea.

Why should we get rid of good people?

On appeal, an order of remittitur will be entered reducing the award to $10.00. There can be no racism against white people because they hold the power. Therefore, white people cannot be damaged by anything done to them.
