A state appeals court in Los Angeles overturned a $20 million award in a lawsuit against a man and his company for secretly videotaping Michael Jackson and his attorneys during a private-jet flight.The 2nd District Court of Appeals stated the award against XtraJet and its owner was too much. The money was to go to celebrity attorney Mark Garagos and his associate, Pat Harris.
An attorney representing Garagos stated a new trial would likely be sought in the case.
Jackson rode the charter plane from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara in 2003 to surrender to authorities in a child molestation case that ended with Jackson's acquittal on all charges. The King of Pop was seen chatting with Garagos on the video.
XtraJet owner Jeffrey Borer and an associate pleaded guilty in 2006 in a federal case accusing them of secretly recording Jackson and his lawyers.
The court argued that Borer's actions were "reprehensible," but not enough to warrant such a large award.
