How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• $1,000,000 award reduced to $350,000; murder victim was asphyxiated by gagging, and also suffered numerous fractures and bruises
• damages recoverable in wrongful death action “are occasioned by the economically recognized and calculable losses of the household management services of a mother”
• “Asphyxiation by gagging, whether it occurred within minutes or within an hour of the initial assault, is a particularly slow and terrifying way to die and, under the circumstances, we do not find the [$350,000] award for conscious pain and suffering ... to be excessive.”
