you know what? fukk them too after reading this…make em pay…

According to the law firm representing the woman's family, Roy Holden plead guilty to the woman's murder and had a history of job firings for forgery, falsifying documents and harassment of fellow employees.

The firm said in the days leading up to the murder Holden made multiple outcries to supervisors about personal and financial issues relating to a divorce. He was reportedly denied money by Spectrum and began scamming female Spectrum cable customers, stealing their credit cards and checks.

The release also said that Holden had unauthorized access to a company van for weeks and was likely sleeping in the van in the weeks leading up to the murder.

The firm said that after Thomas was killed her family received several notifications from Spectrum of an outstanding bill that included a $58 charge for Holden's service call and that those unpaid bills were eventually sent to a collection agency.

ya it’ll probably get appealed and reduced…judge is definitely making a statement concerning their negligence in hiring this dude and then not firing him after all the additional warning signs

The cable company gonna fight this, watch...

i'm sure they conveniently have some kind of settlement cap or whatever it's called.

 

[Mars]

10 million dollars would've been plenty enough......The 7 billion dollar judgment is going to cost people their jobs.

The cable company gonna fight this, watch...

Of course
They are culpable and should pay
But it won't be anywhere in the billions
I'd be surprised if it's 9 figures +

 

[feelosofer]

Thay amount is going to get argued down but still they are going to walk away with millions.

 

[pcpking]

[the bossman]
