$7.3 billion
Posted on 7/28/22 at 6:34 pm to Chad504boy
Sort of reminds me of a story years ago out of Mississippi where a jury wanted to award an amount but mistakenly added too many zeros. I wonder if that was involved here or if they actually meant 7 Billion!

That’s fricking ridiculous and embarrassing. Spectrum is not liable for that thug’s off duty conduct outside the scope of his work.

Seems like a good spinoff:
Would you let someone murder you at 83 if it meant your family got $7.3 billion.
Side spinoff:
What’s the lowest amount you’d be ok with

Well, I now have a good response the next time one of those Spectrum reps comes to my door again trying to get me to sign up for their service. “You can walk right on back to your car and tell your management that this household doesn’t do business with __________!” So many references to this story that you could insert in the blank.

Cable company getting what it deserves. Probably said he would come between 7am and 7 pm too

If you knew how they lied and tried to cover things up you’d understand why it’s so much.

According to the family’s lawyers, trial testimony revealed that Charter hired Holden without verifying his employment history and “ignored a series of red flags,” including the killer’s written pleas to upper management to help him with financial and family problems.
Finding Charter’s action a “proximate cause” of Thomas’s death, jurors assigned the company 90 percent of the blame for civil liabilities.
In a special finding, jurors answered “Yes” when asked if Charter “knowingly or intentionally committed forgery of the terms and conditions of service” in order to compel the family into closed-door arbitration with “the intent to defraud or harm” them.
“Charter Spectrum had too many chances to prevent this tragedy, and the company showed a complete disregard for the safety of its customers. Worse, the trial reveals how vulnerable Charter Spectrum customers remain today at the hands of a company that appears not to care about public safety,” attorney Ray Khirallah, from the same firm, said in a statement. “This verdict fairly reflects the extent of the evidence against Charter Spectrum and the dangerous nature of the company’s serious misconduct and violations of the law.”
Following the verdict, Charter extended sympathies to the family but continued to insist that the crime was “not foreseeable.”
“Our hearts go out to Mrs. Thomas’ family in the wake of this senseless and tragic crime. The responsibility for this horrible act rests solely with Mr. Holden, who was not on duty, and we are grateful he is in prison for life,” Charter said in a statement. “While we respect the jury and the justice system, we strongly disagree with the verdict and will appeal.
The company said that Holden’s pre-employment criminal background check “showed no arrests, convictions or other criminal behavior.”
“Nor did anything in Mr. Holden’s performance after he was hired suggest he was capable of the crime he committed, including more than 1,000 completed service calls with zero customer complaints about his behavior,” the company added.

Let’s be honest, it’s probably impossible to find a perspective juror who hasn’t been screwed at least once by a cable television provider. This verdict will probably be overturned on appeal, but the jurors were definitely sending a message.

They did it b/c they found a convenient excuse to save money.

Sounds like 6.9 billion to a slush fund and lawyers, 350 million to the victims family
