Question 5:
Did JOHNTUE CALDWELL prove by a preponderance of the evidence that MARYSOL DOMENICI's conduct was malicious, oppressive, or in reckless disregard of JOHNTUE CALDWELL's rights?
__________ Yes __________ No
If you answered "yes," you now have the opportunity to award punitive damages. An award of punitive damages serves to punish an individual defendant and act as a deterrent for such future conduct, rather than pay someone back for what they lost. The jury may award punitive damages only if it concludes that MARYSOL DOMENICI's conduct was either motivated by malicious, oppressive, or in reckless disregard or indifference to JOHNTUE CALDWELL's rights.
What, if any, punitive damages do you award to JOHNTUE CALDWELL?
