Excerpts from last Thursday's decision regarding the Rao Case. "The Court declines to reinstate the award of punitive damages because the evidence at trial was insufficient to sustain an award of punitive damages under Virginia law." "III. CONCLUSION Because the evidence at trial did not justify an award of punitive damages, or a reasonable jury could not have returned an award of punitive damages, it is hereby ORDERED that the Court will not reinstate the punitive damages award."
