Ladies and gentlemen, you must now determine whether you should award punitive damages against defendant Simpson for the sake of example and by way of punishment, whether punitive damages should be imposed; and if so, the amount there is left to your sound discretion to exercise, without passion or prejudice. If you determine that punitive damages should be assessed against the defendant Simpson, in arriving at that amount of such award, you must consider one, the reprehensibility of defendant Simpson's conduct; Two, the amount of punitive damage which will have a deterrent effect on defendant Simpson and in the light of defendant Simpson's financial condition; Three, that the punitive damages must bear a reasonable relationship, a reasonable relationship to the injury, harm or damage actually suffered by Ronald Goldman or Nicole Brown Simpson. You have heretofore returned your verdict on the issue of liability and compensatory damages in favor of the plaintiffs against the defendant. Now, you shall retire and deliberate on the issue of punitive damages. The foreperson previously selected may preside over your deliberations, or you may elect to choose a new foreperson. Your deliberations on the issue of punitive damages shall be governed by the same instructions previously given to you, so far as they are applicable, as well as by the instructions on punitive damages. As soon as nine or more jurors have agreed upon a verdict on the issue of punitive damages, have it signed and dated by your foreperson by number and not by name, and then return with it to this room. Okay. The bailiff has previously been sworn to take charge the jury. You may take charge of the jury.
