I have been too busy with other things the past week or so to be able to comment on events as they have been unfolding. (So much for accusations that I am a professional basher who is being paid to post 24/7) I know a number of you have made comments to me and I have not replied in a timely manner. My apologies. I will try to rectify the situation.
I had asked in post 4240:
Why did the jury want to give Rao more money than they asked for? The only reason I can think of is that they were not impressed by Cohn's integrity or they thought his behavior was egregious. Do you have any other explanation?
I think Caesar was the only one to step up to the plate to answer my question:

The jury probably did not like Doug's lawyer's personality. The judge ruled on the evidence.
Gee, and I thought that the jury was sitting in judgment of Doug, not his lawyer. I still say, IN MY CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED OPINION , based on the FACT that the jury awarded the Raos more than they asked for, it looks like the jury was not impressed with Doug’s trustworthiness. It also looks like they were confused on the law and the Judge ruled, at least in part, in favor of Cohn based on his reading of the law.
