    Jury Awards Rand Paul Upwards Of $580,000 In Suit

    http://www.wave3.com/2019/01/30/jury...ocCTIJjMzPNCaI

    LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A jury decided Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) deserves more than half a million dollars after his neighbor attacked him in the yard of his Kentucky home.

    The trial happened in Bowling Green, where Paul lives.

    Paul sued his neighbor, Rene Boucher, after the 2017 attack left him with multiple broken ribs. The senator sought up to $500,000 in compensation and up to $1 million in punitive damages.

    The jury awarded Paul $7,834.82 in medical damages, $200,000 for pain and suffering and $375,000 in punitive damages -- totaling $582,834.82.

    I don’t think this was as much as he asked for. I’m glad the court found in his favor, for sure.

    It would be nice if Boucher had to sell his house and move away from Rand.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    I seem to recall that his house had been for sale even for some time before the attack, but he owed more than it was worth. So now it would be funny if he had to sell it and still didn't make anything on it.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?

    Did this Boucher guy even see any jail time?... isn't it a felony to attack a senator?

    He was sentenced to 30 days, although I don't know if he has served any as yet. Federal prosecutors are appealing the sentence and want his sentence to be 21-27 months.

    If he can't pay he should be forced to do Rand's yard care.
