Ward Churchill gets an USFL-sized settlement - Denver Post: "Churchill wins CU suit but awarded just $1"

    The jury gave Churchill $1 ...

    Churchill hugged his legal team after the verdict was read ...

    Churchill briefly spoke outside the courtroom and said, "it took four years. It took a while. And it was quick, it was justice." CU "has been exposed for what it is" ...

    Churchill said he was satisfied with a $1 judgment and said his case was not about money...

    "I'm going to spend it on a great cup of coffee!", Churchill said.

    "Um, two-thirds of a cup of coffee," interjected his lawyer.

    What ruins a lawyer's whole day after four years of work on a contingency-fee basis...

    Earlier this afternoon, [Judge] Naves summoned the attorneys from both sides back to court because the jurors had a question.

    The jurors asked: "Judge, we are feeling uncomfortable about the damages portion. Would you be able to meet with us to talk about what is required and other things regarding money? And is $0 an option?"
