I'd think after 8 years, he'd be over it. I really don't see how it would amount to millions in damages at any rate. And as far as him actually getting a jury to go along with it, I'd say his chances are not very good. Juries lately (as I said before) have seemed less likely to agree to large cash awards for punative damages.
