Diaz told U.S. District Judge William Orrick on Tuesday,He wouldn’t agree with the 89% drop. Diaz’s attorney, Larry Organ, said Diaz plans to seek a new trial.
In an emailed statement, Ogan said: “Diaz is asking for a new trial to deny the court an excessive cut in damages, and he is again asking the jury to assess what Tesla did to him to provide for the flood of racist insults directed at him. Just Reparations. Diaz seeks to restore a fair and equitable award of punitive damages to punish and deter Tesla’s racist conduct against Diaz and prevent future harassment.”
