Linda won a lawsuit against Wilson for intentionally inflicting emotional distress. the jury awarded linda $500,000 in compensatory damages. it also awarded her $5.7 million in punitive damages because Wilson was quite wealthy and the jury thought a large amount was necessary for him to feel the punishing effects of the judgement. would Wilson have a valid claim to have the jury's award reversed?

a: yes, because the punitive award is excessive as it exceeds the supreme court's suggested ratio of compensatory damages to punitive damages.

b: yes, because the punitive award is excessive as the supreme court has stated that the trial court may not use the defendant's wealth as an excuse to award an unreasonably high award.

c: no, because the supreme court has stated that a punitive damage award cannot be reviewed as they are decided by the jury,

d: yes, because punitive damages cannot be awarded in an intentional tort case.
