The Jury decides

GREGORY: You saw the "Seinfeld" episode, and then you heard about the conversation. Do you think MacKenzie did anything wrong in this conversation?

Unidentified Juror #1: No.

Unidentified Juror #2: No. No.

Unidentified Juror #3: No.

Unidentified Juror #4: To us, it did not appear as sexual harassment at all.

Juror #1: I think you know what level of conversation you can carry on with someone, and I think he felt very comfortable with her.

GREGORY: (Voiceover) The jurors we spoke with didn't believe Best was truly offended.

(Group of jurors)

Juror #2: He wasn't trying to be lewd about it.

Offscreen Voice #1: No.

Offscreen Voice #2: No.

Unidentified Juror #5: And then with her using foul language in the workplace, doesn't that open doors for him to, you know, even talk about anything?

GREGORY: (Voiceover) And, after six hours of deliberations, the 10 women and two men unanimously found Best's conduct had been outrageous--so outrageous, in fact, they socked her with a $ 1.5 million judgment.

(Jury deliberating room)

Was Patricia G. Best's conduct outrageous?

Answer: Yes

Punitive damages?

Answer: $ 1.5 mil.

GREGORY: Why, as the jury, did you say to Patty Best, You've got to pay a million and a half dollars'?

Juror #2: She used an issue that is very sensitive today. She has hurt sexual harassment cases by the mere fact she claimed this because he showed her a word.

GREGORY: What would you say to those people who say Ten women on a jury, and they came back with this decision. These are women who just don't get it'?

Juror # 2: I'd say they weren't--they don't know anything about the court case, because it wasn't sexual harassment. If you cannot converse with people, where are we going to get, you know?

Ms. BRAVO: This is a chilling message to people who are being treated badly in the workplace.

GREGORY: (Voiceover) Best's spokesperson, Ellen Bravo, worries this verdict will have an impact on working women everywhere.

(Exterior of court building)

Ms. BRAVO: This is what they're going to say, You know, unless I'm sexually assaulted in front of a witness, I'd better keep my mouth shut because everybody's going to say I'm thin-skinned or I'm a liar or I'm a slut or I'm something else and I could be sued.'

GREGORY: (Voiceover) For MacKenzie, the verdict was a potential windfall. The jury also ordered Miller to pay $ 24 million for lying to him about his job status when he worked there, but MacKenzie says getting the award wasn't nearly as important as getting something else.

Mr. MacKENZIE: I feel that the verdict has cleared my name. It has vindicated me. These 12 people said, We agree, you did nothing wrong.'

PHILLIPS: Jerry MacKenzie still doesn't have a job and probably won't see any of that multimillion dollar jury award anytime soon because of appeals. Patricia Best still works for Miller, and as for the $ 1.5 million the jury said she should pay, the company says, if and when that's necessary, it will pick up the tab.
