However, the jury awarded excessive punitive damages against Steyn of $1 million.
The reason for this was provided in the Plaintiff’s lawyer summing up for the jury:
“The jury should award punitive damages so that in future no one will dare engage in ‘climate denialism’ just as Trump’s ‘election denialism’ needs to be suppressed.”
Washington D.C. is one of the most far Left Democrat-leaning areas, and a D.C. jury is all in for a bit of Right-wing bashing, no matter how thin the excuse, and so delivered on the punitive damages...
