What's the point of having judgement of crazy quantum but knowing that unlikely for victims to get paid... It's like govt can set aside 20bil for whatever social or welfare during budget but the fine print could be a huge list of criteria that hardly anyone is eligible... Then next year declare as budget surplus...

I guess the jury system will tend towards awarding huge amounts. Because the jurists will think "what if it happened to me?". It could also be an act of vengeance against what they see as powerful figures or corporations etc. They also tend to be more emotional that the professional judges.

You seldom see such huge amounts in a non-jury judicial system.
