In what universe are we living in when a journalist can say that Thomas won a "victory," even a partial one, after being convicted of sexual harrassment? What, it's OKAY that he was convicted if he doesn't have to pay extra damages?! The victim, Sanders, is the LOSER in this case? What the hell is wrong with journalists?NEW YORK (AP) -- A jury decided Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also said he does not have to pay punitive damages.
Isiah Thomas, seen entering Manhattan federal court on Monday, is accused of harrassing a former employee.
After an ugly, three-week trial, the verdict gives Thomas a partial victory in the $10 million lawsuit filed by Anucha Browne Sanders.
The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and decided that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.
U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch called it an "eminently reasonable" verdict and said the jury will be asked to return later Tuesday to hear brief arguments on punitive damages.
