Do the people who are of the opinion that Andrews got awarded the right compensation also think that the new tort reform law is bad?

Now going forward if this happens to Sage Steele, she will get a lot less, bad law right?

I guess asking for a "specific room" will be out of the question for here on out.

Michael Morton spent 25 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and got $2 million.

That is less than $220 per day as a remedy.

Yeah, this is why her $50 whatever million is such a joke.

How do you think this guy feels ? Prob lucky he didn't get killed in prison. I'm sure his feeling's are hurt too ?

This is why the legal system is so fucked up. Funny thing is .. this will never end. Can't wait to hear the next D List Celebrate to cash in.

There is no way to justify a 50 plus million dollar judgement for this. Stop trying to argue in her favor.

It's just ridiculous. There is no legitimate argument.

"Her feelings are hurt'... "She was exposed".. "No one has ever seen her nude" (LOL)

Crazy that anyone could possibly make a case for her.

I think she's on the hook for the taxes because it is not an "injury' but 'emotional distress'. Not sure why there is a difference but there is.

Correct


Erin Andrews won a spectacular victory in her peephole lawsuit, but her $55 million verdict is almost certainly going to get slashed many times over.

Of the $55 million, she will never see a penny from pervert Michael Barrett, who is on the hook for $28 million. Marriott is responsible for the remaining $27 million.

Marriott will almost certainly appeal the verdict, which then opens the door to settlement. There are compelling reasons why Erin might want to settle. It's a huge judgment when you consider there's no physical injury ... just emotional distress. An appeals court could overturn the verdict on grounds it's simply excessive. It's a crapshoot to go forward with an appeal ... for both sides.
The legal experts we've spoken with all say the likelihood is the case will settle ... for somewhere around $20 million on Marriott's part.

Now the lawyers' fees. In lawsuits where a case actually goes to trial, lawyers typically get around 40% of therecoverable judgment. So, if Erin settles with Marriott for $20 million, the lawyers would get $8 million, leaving her with $12 million. And Erin's responsible for costs in preparing the case, which we're told could approach $1 million, leaving her with $11 million.

Now the bad news. In cases where someone wins an award for emotional distress without any physical injuries, the award is taxable. So the $11 million becomes more like $6 million.

I'm still not sure why they keep reporting that Marriott is on the hook for half of the judgement, they don't own the hotel and were dismissed from the lawsuit before this even went to trial.

Just like sheriff Joe......you're never gonna get it. The fact that certain people can't understand the judgement shouldn't surprise anyone.

Huh? In a world where people get famous for putting a video of themselves on YouTube.....I doubt she needs this for publicity.

Is this kind of like if I disagree with you.... I must fuck my sister, have 2 teeth, be a redneck, etc?

I understand the judgement. I just think it is nonsensical bullshit. Just like I understand DUI's. Just a moneymaking scam.

55 million? How do you justify that?

If you were to find him guilty and then give her 1K while she has over 100K in legal fees. That would be just punishment. The whole thing is BS. Everyone can see it.

Who is everyone? You and a few other woman haters at RX? Hell, you already told us you tea bagged a passed out girl in high school and Peyton manning putting his nuts on a girls head is " something that everyone does". You obviously don't know women very well.....this kind of stuff had lasting effects and the scumbag who taped her and the hotel both deserve exactly what they got.

Yes, everyone sees it except the idiot who believes blacks should resist arrest as a way to survive.

Youre lying again. Multiple people have asked you to stop making things up. Many blacks resist because they feel being detained by police is dangerous for them.....we have seen in recent years, video evidence confirms this. You've only seen black people on tv so you wouldn't know what they think.

Not a surprise that you and Vlad share same thoughts.

I understand the point she's trying to make. It's not like she's a porn star that was filmed without her knowledge. Just because she's in the spotlight, that doesn't mean she deserves to be filmed without her permission.

My only thought is that the award was excessive. Prisoners who are wrongly jailed for years and years don't get much, and I'd argue the hell they go through for all those years spent in prison is much worse than what she's gone through.

I can't and won't fault her though, she followed the rules of the law and did what she's legally entitled to do. The fault, if any, belongs to the jury who awarded that amount.

I seriously doubt anyone here would turn down that amount if offered.

I would think that you know what a black person feels about being detained is about equal to what Sheriff Joe knows about it. You might read it, or have been told that, but you have no way of knowing it.

I've worked with minorities over a decade.....I know exactly how many of them feel.....sheriff Joe hasn't seen a live black person in decades....let alone talk to one.

It might get knocked down on appeal but either way.....I'm fine with it and can understand why they awarded what they did.

Like I said, she did nothing wrong and whatever she ends up with is fine by me.
