So they allow the jury to award what they see fit, don't instruct them about the 2x cap, (assuming to not sway them in their judgement) and announce verdict.
Then someone leans over to Jones' people and says "nah its only 8mm ...we have cap"?
But a Texas jury returned that judgment - and there are two other cases elsewhere. I think it still shows the jurors find Jones’s conduct reprehensible.
