An Oakland jury awarded either $4 million or $550,000 in punitive damages yesterday, depending on which of these stories is correct:
Ex-Black Panther Elaine Brown awarded $4 million in punitive damages (AP/Philadelphia Tribune)
Jury: Oakland councilwoman must pay $550,000 in punitive damages to former Black Panther leader (East Bay Times)
The AP's description of the verdict seems a bit jumbled, so I'm guessing the East Bay Times got it right.
