539	67	IV.N. Exemplary damages (MNT #17, JNOV #12)	Jury unanimously awarded exemplary damages. Prior briefing addresses unanimity argument (Sept. 18 and Sept. 22 filings). Jury's $3M award complies with statutory cap — actual damages over $2M, so 2x cap satisfied. Kassab's conclusory assertion that jury 'probably considered improper items' unsupported. Evidence showed: Kassab bore personal culpability as orchestrator of conspiracy; lied to jury about purchase contract; conduct offended justice — professed ethics enforcer who acted unethically and deceitfully. Jury well within rights to award $3M.
