Federal law, though, limits monetary damages to $300,000 in such employment discrimination cases, and on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge John Gerrard reduced the damages to that amount and awarded Robinson $35,682 for lost wages.

The plaintiff's attorneys had to know that. I wonder if they led the plaintiff to believe he was going to receive tens of millions.
