In December 2019, 83-year-old Betty Thomas was murdered in her home when the cable guy returned to her home under the guise of finishing his work. Fast forward to July 2022 and this story makes another shocking headline. The cable company Spectrum was found to be negligent in Thomas’ murder and was subsequently instructed to pay $375 million in damages and an additionally $7 billion in punitive damages. And if the numbers aren’t enough to make you wonder, Spectrum was found to be 90% responsible for Thomas’ death while perpetrator Roy James Holden was found to be only 10% responsible for his act. Host Jack Russo discusses this Texas case that resulted in a rather unexpected ruling.
