Plaintiff’s Attorney Asks for $13.2M in Punitives in Wrongful Death Tobacco Suit

Calling the jury the "conscience of the community," James Gustafson asks jurors to award his client, Dianne Webb, four days of defendant R.J. Reynolds's dividend payments as punitive damages for the lung cancer death of her father, James Kayce Horner. The jury ultimately awarded $450,000 in punitive damages in Webb v. R.J. Reynolds.
