Lawyers representing Michaud and Nakajjigo’s parents asked for $140 million in damages, while the government said an appropriate award would be roughly $3.5 million.
Ultimately, Jenkins awarded Michaud $9.5 million, Nakajjigo’s mother, Christine Namagembe, $700,000, and her father, John Bosco Kateregga, $350,000.
Jenkins said the government had provided “a more reasonable projection” of Nakajjigo’s earnings potential.
