Please, let's not extrapolate. Keith never had a trial. The judge decided the ~fact~ of Keith's liability on his own in the Summary Judgement findings, and later a jury decided after a multi-day factual hearing, based on his already-proven liability, what the appropriate damages should be. Biiig difference! Keith never had a trial. >While I think I understand why the jury made the decision they did given >the evidence they saw, there was still a feeling of shock and mourning >on the group for a few days (except from Rod and company of course...) >following Keith's case. Keith was already "guilty" when the jury got the case. Geddit? "...with liberty and justice for all ..." is a lie we make our children repeat every morning before school officially starts.
