Seven years after deadly violence erupted during the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a federal appeals court has reinstated more than $2 million in punitive damages for white nationalist leaders and organizations implicated in physical or emotional injuries suffered by people at the event. The decision brought the total that a jury ordered to be paid to more than $26 million.
Most of that money, $24 million, was for punitive damages, but a judge later slashed that amount to $350,000 -- to be shared by eight plaintiffs. On Monday, the Richmond-based fourth US circuit court of appeals restored more than $2 million in punitive damages, finding that each of the plaintiffs should receive $350,000, instead of the $43,750 each would have received under the lower court's ruling.
