The mom, Lastonia Leviston, broke down in tears while clutching the hand of her lawyer’s wife as the jury returned their verdict against the rapper - $2.5 million in damages for violating her civil rights for using her image without her permission, and $2.5 million for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Those figures could be multiplied next week, when the jury weighs punitive damages against the “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” star.
