    According to this theory, he will not pay that much:

    Others have pointed out that Texas law caps punitive (“exemplary”) damages at twice the compensatory damage award plus $750,000. Moreover, an exemplary damage award requires an unanimous jury, and only ten of the twelve jurors agreed on the original $4.1 million compensatory award. And if the jury’s original award was for non-economic damages, i.e. to compensate them for pain and suffering, then they may only get the $750,000 in this phase of the trial.
