A jury verdict earlier this month to mentally disabled workers who were
abused and forced to live in a “house of horrors” has been drastically slashed
after trial.

A federal law that limits damages will cut the jury’s award from $240 million to $1.6 million.
After deciding that Texas-based turkey processing plant Henry’s Turkey
Service subjected the workers to abuse, discrimination and physical punishment
at home and at work, the jury awarded $7.5 million to each of the 32
workers.
