552	68	VII. Great-Weight-and-Preponderance Arguments Meritless	Kassab makes four-sentence effort without discussing specific evidence. Heavy burden (Harding v. Lewis). Court should not substitute its evaluation for jury's (Home Ins. Co. v. Garcia). Jury heard testimonial and documentary evidence and chose to accept it. As to exemplary damages: evidence of malice was overwhelming — Kassab secretly purchased files under phony expert agreement, filed multiple unsuccessful grievances and lawsuits, publicized dismissed grievance to TX AG, Harris County DA, Houston Chronicle, Texas Lawyer, and State Bar candidate. Kassab refused to acknowledge wrongdoing even after federal judge found he purchased files. Jury rejected Kassab's 'vigilante justice' theory.
