    Erin Andrews awarded $55 million in suit over nude video

    http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/07/medi...ict/index.html
    Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews was awarded $55 million Monday in a lawsuit over a secretly filmed nude video.

    Andrews brought a $75 million suit against her stalker, Michael Barrett, as well as the management company and owner of the Nashville Marriott where the nearly five-minute video was filmed in 2009.
    In his closing argument, Andrews' attorney encouraged the jury to award her damages that took into account the "full amount of harm that's been done to her."
    The jury put 51% of the fault on Barrett, while the hotel's management company, Windsor Capital Group, and its owner, West End Hotel Partners, were 49% responsible.
    Andrews, a Fox Sports correspondent, worked for ESPN at the time of the incident.
    During her testimony, Andrews said she has suffered because of the video for the last seven years. She was forced to seek help in dealing with the trauma and now has an elaborate strategy for checking out hotels she stays in. Her parents told the court that she was a "shell" of her former self.
    The jury of seven women and five men found both Barrett and Windsor Capital, the hotel management company, responsible.


    It's terrible and perverted what happened to her but $55,000,000 is ridiculously high IMO.

    What I want to know is, how is the stalker only 51% responsible? Seems like he's 100% responsible. Of course, pinning the other 49% on the company is the only way they're going to get anyone to pay a dime, so I guess that's why...

    It's never about how much the plaintiff gets. It's about what the jury thought the defendants should have to lose.
