Default Re: Punitive damages

Punitive damages are very important.

In this case, the verdict is a farce.
For instance, from an article about the case:

[ QUOTE ]
Jurors who voted against Merck said much of the science sailed right over their heads. "Whenever Merck was up there, it was like wah, wah, wah," said juror John Ostrom, imitating the sounds Charlie Brown's teacher makes in the television cartoon. "We didn't know what the heck they were talking about."

You awarded 250 MILLION and you didn't know what the heck they were talking about!?!?!?!?!!?!!!
