verdict

DaCosta doesn’t offer a verdict, but she plunges us so deeply into Hedda’s headspace that we can hear how certain things set her off.

The influential Catholic Church this week urged the judges to ensure that the verdict reflected the will of voters.

Local media reports on Tuesday said there were "loud gasps" when the verdict was read out in the courtroom packed with the women's supporters.

After the jury delivered its verdicts, Ms Willoughby said in a statement: "As women we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes."

The French bank says it will appeal the judgment and that the verdict on the three plaintiffs—who were awarded $20 million—shouldn’t have broader application, so any speculation regarding a potential settlement is wrong.
