Philip Morris USA v. Williams. Full text of U.S. Supreme Court 5-4 decision dated February 20, 2007. This was a state negligence and deceit lawsuit. A jury found that Jesse Williams’ death was caused by smoking and that Philip Morris knowingly and falsely led him to believe smoking was safe. It awarded $821,000 in compensatory damages and $79.5 million in punitive damages to Williams' estate. The U.S. Supreme Court held that a punitive damages award that is based in part on a jury’s desire to punish a defendant for harming nonparties amounts to a taking of property from defendant without due process.
