CNN Juror Would Have Awarded $100 Million in Damages

Before determining punitive damages, the jury was prepared to award up to $100 million, according to jury foreperson Katy Svitenko.
Young's legal team presented internal CNN messages showing hostility towards him, including derogatory remarks made by CNN staff.
CNN stated it will take 'useful lessons' from the verdict, emphasizing its commitment to fair reporting despite acknowledging the jury's message against fake news.
