PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A Florida jury has returned one of the largest verdicts ever against a tobacco company. The jury in the case Cynthia Robinson v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company sided Friday night with Robinson, the widow of a longtime smoker who died of lung cancer in 1996, to award her more than $16 million in compensatory damages and $23 billion in punitive damages.
