The D.C. jury ruled unanimously in favor of Mann's complaint, and against Simberg and Steyn. They levied a one dollar ($1.00) fine against each Simberg and Steyn for actual damage. That's a slap at the plaintiff for maybe having an arguable point but still being ridiculous, and an admission S. and S. were speaking truth in their libel. I'm not sure of the legal way to phrase that.
But they also levied punitive fines against Simberg and Steyn, a significant one in the case of the latter. The men were right, but they must be punished anyway.
Sorry this is so short, but what can you say about it?

Disgusting. Despicable. Enraging. Our people, in the form of juries such as this, are useful idiots at best.

Yup. Justice begins and ends with the juries. What is wrong with people today? My word.

I'm not a civil lawyer, but I think that in Oregon, the punitive damages have to be proportional to the actual damages.

The justice system is corrupt.
