Dubious Memories
(2 of 2)
In finding against the therapists, 10 to 2 (a unanimous vote was not required in the civil case), the jury awarded Ramona only $500,000 of the $8 million in damages he had sought. Still, he hailed the verdict as a "tremendous victory." Said jury foreman Thomas Dudum: "We felt that there was nothing done ((by the therapists)) that was malicious. It was more a case of negligence." The ruling does not answer the question of what happened to Holly Ramona. (No criminal charges have been filed against her father.) But it will almost certainly make recovered-memory therapists more cautious about how they try to unravel such questions in the future.
