I have no idea, there are a plethora of trials that just make you go

I just wonder what the hell happened in this time:
...

After a four-week trial and 11 hours of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict granting compensatory damages of $7.3 million to the widow and the couple's child, and $9.6 million to Johnson's son from a previous relationship.

The same jury deliberated for another seven hours before awarding Robinson the additional sum of $23.6 billion in punitive damages, according to the verdict forms.
...

They went from about $17,000,000 to $23,600,000,000 in 7 hours.
