For a non-US citizen the US court system is just weird in so many aspects... $148 million compensation that is given to two individual election workers?
I mean sure, they should be entitled to some compensation etc. but from my perspective the majority of the penalty should go to the state rather than the victims. And/or just put that guy in jail.
With numbers like this it's basically a jackpot to be the victim.
What is the price of your safety?
He put a target on their backs while preaching to a bunch of gun enthusiasts. That money is going to security detail for the rest of their lives.
If a poor(er) person points a gun at my head threatening to kill me, I won't receive hundreds of millions of cash for compensation. But if a billionaire does it I do? Why is the height of the compensation depending on the criminal?
The penalty must be dependent on the offender, sure. Giuliani should pay a way higher fine than an average worker. Because a fine of $ 5,000 would mean nothing to him.
But for the victim it should be more important how big of a damage happened. A serious trauma is a serious trauma, no matter how rich the other side is.
If the penalty is higher than the compensation, the money should go to the state IMO.
Find me a poor person that can leverage an army of people, and I'll reconsider your hypothetical.
It's not just the billionaire himself they have to watch out for, it's lots of random unhinged individuals
