WE WON!

On Thursday, March 30, 2000, a jury of four women and four men found unanimously in favor of Dr. Crangle. They reached their verdict in under six hours. 

The jury awarded the maximum amount allowed under federal law for punitive and compensatory damages, finding that Stanford University had acted with malice or a reckless disregard to Dr. Crangle's protected rights.
