A Crittenden County jury has ordered an ex-Russellville doctor to pay $122.5 million in a civil lawsuit for severely injuring the Arkansas medical board's chairman in a 2009 bombing.
Randeep Mann was convicted in 2010 for conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction and other charges following the bombing of Dr. Trent Pierce outside his home.
Pierce led the medical board when it revoked Mann's license to prescribe narcotics after he was suspected of overprescribing pain medications, leading to some patient deaths.
The jury has awarded Pierce and his wife the money for compensatory and punitive damages.
The couples' attorney says they likely won't collect the award since Mann is in prison, but hopes they can receive proceeds from the sale of Mann and his wife's antique gun collection.
