Oj Punitive Damages

A jury today awarded punitive damages in the amount of 25 million dollars to the Brown and Goldman families in the O.J. Simpson wrongful death civil trial. NPR's Ina Jaffe talks with Robert about the effect this award will have on the financial status of Mr. Simpson, what Simpson's options are regarding an appeal, and what the families' reactions appear to be to the judgment.
