$16,171,000 to Freeman in compensatory damages for defamation;
$16,998,000 for Moss in compensatory damages for defamation;
$20 million each, or $40 million total, in compensatory damages for emotional distress;
$75 million in punitive damages for both
Interesting that they determined that he damaged Moss more than Freeman. Maybe one of them got more ugly threats than the other.
Knowing very little of the facts, maybe it’s because Moss is younger and will be missing out on more income, since neither of them can get a job anymore. But that’s just my uneducated guess for the difference.
This is what I'm curious about - assuming he doesn't pay, by claiming he's destitute, what other recourse do these people have? Their lives are completely upended, and they absolutely deserve this money.
In a state case they'd hire the sheriff to cease all his property and sell it at auction. Since it's federal, I assume the US Marshalls play the role of the sheriff.
