Everyone understands $$$$ .... seems like a decent lawsuit.
If I provide funds, what % of the final judgment would I get ?
Some have kickstarter or other web-money raising sites for lawsuits that offer a % of the "winnings".
Zero. VCDL is doing this to promote the interests of people who believe in the right to defend one's self, his home, and his family. If you choose to donate, it'll be for the same purpose. I believe that donations to VCDL are tax deductible, but I'm not certain of that. People never seem to get that litigation is a way of cutting one's losses, it's not a ticket to big money profits. It's a lot of work and a real pain to do it.

Asking for over 12 million (looks like the punitive and compensatory damages are mixed up though)....so it seems to be about $$$...
--snipped--I would offer a link but it is on another forum. The guy IS innocent.) The rest would likely go to promoting gun rights and supporting the VCDL's projects and events (materials, permits, etc.). Someone in the VCDL who has stroke can give ya "real" answers, these are just my thoughts from my time with them.

Why is the amount so high? Because lawsuits are EXPENSIVE, .....
..........is the law firm doing this on contingency?
Lawsuits don't have to be expensive ... facts are facts and the law is the law ... the facts in this case are already known (and in discovery I don't think you'll find a memo saying "lets make these people look like idiots" ~ any such records would be destroyed) and the law is still the law.
So you'll have discovery, some depositions (not really that expensive), etc. Discovery in federal court is not the kangaroo crap that occurs in state court.
How much $$$ do you think that this lawsuit will take?
And is the law firm doing this on contingency?
...suing "for satisfaction" will not teach her/them a lesson that MUST be taught! It has to hurt their pocket and their public image! ...
The law firm is Dan Hawes, a VCDL Executive Member.

IANAL, but it seems to me they went beyond merely defaming, but deceptive editing and their own words to publicly embarrass them. Like I said somewhere else, the punitive damages should be greater than the actual damages.
