Charter Spectrum must pay about $1.1 billion to the estate and family members of an 83-year-old Texas woman who was murdered by a cable repairman in 2019.
A Texas judge ruled Monday that Charter Spectrum must pay about $1.1 billion in damages to the estate and family members of 83-year-old Betty Thomas,A jury initially awarded more than $7 billion in damages in July, but the judge lowered that number to roughly $1.1 billion on Monday.
Roy Holden, the former employee who murdered Thomas, performed a service call at her home in December 2019. The next day, while off-duty, he went back to her house and as he was fixing her fax machine, then stabbed her to death before going on a spending spree with the stolen cards. Roy Holden Jr., a Charter Spectrum employee, murdered an 83-year-old woman in her home while off-duty.
Attorneys for Thomas' family argued that after filing a lawsuit, Charter "used a forged document to try to force the lawsuit into a closed-door arbitration where the results would have been secret."
