Description:
Today, we examine the unjust legal quagmire of the case of James Stevens (an African American), who won an $18.4 million dollar judgment in Oct. 2006 after he sued his former employer, the supermarket chain and Fortune 500 company, Vons, for sexual harassment and retaliation. The Law Offices of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg and the Law Offices of Davis & Gavsie, PLC, helped James secure this important judgment against his harasser who was also his supervisor (a Caucasian woman). Her lewd sexual innuendos and overtures made the work environment intolerable for James. As a result of the conduct he endured at Vons and the stresses of the litigation that followed, James suffered tremendous losses. At one point, he considered suicide. Unfortunately, the trial court judge reduced his combined verdict to $2.4 million. The judge gave James a choice--either accept the reduction or have a completely new trial on the damages. James opted to accept the reduction while maintaining his right to appeal the judge's reduction. An appellate court in California upheld the reduction of the jury verdict. The California Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal of that decision and he is now appealing his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining James is Areva Martin, the attorney currently managing his appeal, and Malik Ali, Vice Chairman of Justice Inc., a non-profit organization founded to help others avoid the injustices James faced.
