MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is liable for two statements defaming former Dominion Voting Systems executive Eric Coomer, a federal jury decided Monday.

Lindell owes Coomer $440,500 in combined economic and non-economic damages. The jury did not find that Lindell had acted recklessly, and similarly did not find he inflicted emotional distress or participate in a civil conspiracy against Coomer.

Lindell’s company, FrankSpeech owes Coomer $1,865,500 in combined economic, non-economic and punitive damages. Lindell’s company MyPillow wasn’t found liable at all.

“Thankfully the jury saw this for what it is,” Coomer told the Denver Gazette. “Mike Lindell not only hurt me with his baseless lies, he hurt the American people and the democratic process. Every major network who published this defamation has issued a retraction and an apology. Hopefully Mike Lindell, listening to a jury of his peers, will finally start being honest with his followers. I am now one step closer to putting my life back together and thank the jury for their thoughtfulness and service.”

In total, Coomer is coming away with a fraction of what he asked for: A total of about $2.3 million as opposed to $62.7 million. Only $300,000 of that is in punitive damages, which are meant to punish a defendant and serve as an example to others.
