Jury Seeks Millions in Hudson AIDS Case

Los Angeles AP reports a jury awarded 7.25 million in punitive and exemplary damages to Marc Christian, bringing total damages to 21.75 million after a prior 14.5 million compensatory award. The verdict found Mark Miller acted with malice by hiding Rock Hudson's AIDS diagnosis from Christian. Hudson died in 1985, with Christian noting times have changed for gay men since then.

Jury award to Rock Hudson’s lover sparks mixed reaction

Critics call the 21.75 million verdict excessive and dangerous, arguing it rewards fear and sets broad emotional distress damages. Supporters say it emphasizes responsibility to prevent AIDS. Legal experts note California permits emotional injury claims without tangible harm.
