"The award of $15 million for noneconomic damages in this case is so out-of-line and unjustified that it must have been the result of passion and prejudice," Lawther wrote, in bold, in his Aug. 25 opinion.

He said there was no evidence that Hollins is in regular, continuing pain and that the jury simply seemed to match the economic award when it decided how much to give Hollins for pain and suffering. The judge said fairness and common sense dictate the figure should have been lower.

For example, Lawther said a $3 million noneconomic award invested at 5% would have given the boy $150,000 annually.
