Description

Thomas O. Bennett, Jr., and the James B. Bonham Corporation each appeal a judgment awarding Randy Reynolds $5,327.11 in actual damages, imposed jointly and severally against them, plus punitive damages of $250,000 from Bennett and $1 million from Bonham Corporation. The judgment was based on jury findings that Bennett, the president of Bonham Corporation, and the corporation itself converted cattle owned by Reynolds having a reasonable cash value of $5,327.11; that each acted with malice; and that each committed felony theft. Bennett and Bonham Corporation each challenge the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting various jury findings. Each also contends that the amounts of the punitive damage awards--almost 47 times the actual damages award as to Bennett and almost 188 times actual damages for Bonham Corporation--exceed the "substantive" limitations of the Due Process Clause. See State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co. v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408, 417-18 (2003); BMW of N. Am. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559, 568 (1996); Tony Gullo Motors I, L.P. v. Chapa, 212 S.W.3d 299, 307-08 (Tex. 2006).
