[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The trial on damages ended last week, with a jury finding Jones should pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages to two parents, followed by a separate award of punitive damages (called “exemplary” damages in Texas) in the amount of $45.2 million.

Maybe this sounds low to you, based on what a pile of human garbage Jones is. But the truth is actually worse. Jones will never pay that $45.2 million. Because of tort reform caps, those punitive damages are going to get pared back to a meager $750,000.”

I refer you to this explanation from the Sandy Hook famillies' lawyer about what's next - was posted on previous page. In short, they aren't going to bother with the Texas appellate courts and are going for the jugular in bankruptcy. In TL : DR, there's an argument in TX law circles that the punitive damages cap law violates the Texas Constitution, so there was some thought that Bankston (SH lawyer) would take that argument up through the TX appellate courts.
