valuable Overlawyered.com Web site. Those who've observed
that individuals with a clue are under-represented on juries in the
United States will be delighted to read on page 217 of the Copiah
County, Mississippi jury which found for the plaintiff and awarded
US$75 billion in damages. When asked why, jurors said they'd intended
to award “only” US$75 million, but nobody knew how many zeroes to
write down for a million, and they'd guessed nine.
