The lawyer for a black woman whose hostile workplace claim against a black boss' N-word rant produced a $280,000 jury award said she hopes the case teaches society something.
"It's the most offensive word in the English language," Marjorie M. Sharpe of Phillips and Associates said outside the Southern District courthouse after a jury Tuesday added $30,000 in punitive damages to a $250,000 compensatory damages award it imposed last week against STRIVE East Harlem and founder Rob Carmona.
