How does the court deal with ABC's argument that an adverse decision would have a chilling effect on the press' investigation of abusive activities in open work areas?
The court points out that the media defendant can attempt to show, in order to negate the second element of the tort–that of intrusion being highly offensive to a reasonable person–that the intrusion was justified by the legitimate motive of gathering the news. However, in this case, the jury had reviewed the videotapes and understood the context, and the jury concluded that the plaintiff should be awarded $335,000 in compensatory damages and $300,000 in punitive damages.
