Tesla lawyer asks San Francisco jury to cut $137 million award in race discrimination case

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:19:05 GMT

By Malathi Nayak | BloombergTesla Inc.’s lawyer asked the jury in a damages trial over racism at a California plant to focus on how much money the victim of the abuse should get and not on changing the world.The five-day trial that started Monday is a redo for Owen Diaz, a former contractor who complained of racial taunts and threats at the electric car-maker’s plant in Fremont, California. Two years ago Diaz won a $137 million verdict, one of the largest jury awards in US history in a discrimination lawsuit by an individual. After the judge decided the amount was too high and offered Diaz $15 million, he instead chose a retrial over damages with a new jury.“What this case is not about is whether we think everything that happened at the Fremont factory of Tesla was defensible or right. It was not. There’s no excuse,” company attorney Alex Spiro told jurors in federal court in San Francisco. “This case is also not about harassment generally or the problems of this country or the hist...

A Pied Crow, he is native to Sub-Saharan Africa and looks like he’s wearing a cutaway tuxedo, with a large collar of white feathers from his shoulders to lower breast. Five other birds also fled, but they proved easier to catch.Three Superb Starlings — small and brightly colored creatur...
