After a four-day trial before Judge Renee Marie Bumb, the jury unanimously awarded Braden $520,000 in economic losses, another $520,000 for "willful" action against the Age Discrimination and Employment Act, yet another $520,000 for pain and suffering, and $50 million in punitive damages under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, according to Rahul Munshi of Console Mattiacci Law LLC, one of Braden's lawyers.



In a statement, Console Mattiaci called the award "one of the largest ever obtained by an individual plaintiff in an age discrimination case." Lockheed's lawyers in New York and Newark, N.J., and its representatives at its headquarters in Bethesda, Md., did not return calls seeking comment.
