The jury basically did exactly that. They weren't buying Tesla's multi-year denial that they had the data as an "oopsy doopsy" story.
They found Tesla liable for $235 million. It's the first case Tesla hasent been able to settle, and that's a big ol' number. They are going to have more lawsuits coming.
