Pacman Jones ordered to pay $12.4M to shooting victims

Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has been ordered to pay $12.4 million to the victims of a Las Vegas shooting after he lost an appeal before the Nevada Supreme Court.

Two doormen at a Las Vegas strip club sued Jones after they were shot during an incident in 2007. Jones didn’t pull the trigger, but a jury found he incited the melee at the strip club that precipitated the shooting.

The bulk of the $12.4 million will go to Tommy Urbanski, who was paralyzed in the shooting. Urbanski’s co-worker Aaron Cudworth was also shot and awarded damages from Jones, though Cudworth’s injuries were not as severe.

Jones’s lawyer, Lisa Rasmussen, has previously said that Jones cannot afford to pay the damages.

Good luck getting the money, he will find a way to turd his way out of it.

I bet he wished he had all that makin' it rain money back in his bank LOL.

Idjit.

The irony of his financial situation is staggering.

Maybe others will learn from it. He will never be rich again. He'll have to work after the NFL - and that money will be subject to garnishment. I'm sure he'll try to hide income - but he'll have to worry that somebody will turn him in on it.

As in Donald Brown's dad should have to pay all the store owners for damages to their buildings, right?
He did say to burn the mofo's down, right?

Which probably means that the victims won't see any real money. Incredibly effective justice system we've got here in America.

Granted, it does suck - but just 'cuz shit happens, doesn't necessarily mean someone has to pay, unless of course, you're a lawyer.

So what's the solution? Have the courts award paper certificates and bragging rights instead of financial restitution or compensation? Lol.

Maybe a sticker or a ribbon.

@Akrasian sadly nobody will learn from it, this type of thing will keep happening over and over.
