ODESSA (AP) — A 36-year-old
rape victim who won nearly $1 mil
lion in damages from an Odessa
apartment management firm says
she hopes landlords get the message
to provide secure surroundings.
The victim, who was sexually as
saulted at knife point in August
1985, sued the owners and man
agers of Winwood Apartments be
cause her assailant entered her
apartment through a patio door she
says she asked the landlords as many
as nine times to fix before the attack.
“I really think (the jurors) sent a
message to apartment managers,”
the victims said. “Hopefully, this will
prevent someone else from getting
raped.”
An all-male jury in 70th District
Judge Gene Ater’s court heard four
days of testimony and deliberated
more than nine hours before award
ing the victim $956,000 in damages
Monday.
“I hope it does make them aware
of their responsibilities,” said the vic
tim, who put her head in her hands
and cried for several minutes after
the verdict was read. “I think right
now I’m probably more in shock
than anything.”
In a 10-2 verdict, jurors ruled that
Benchmark Properties Inc. of Mid
land failed to use ordinary care, but
Landmark Properties Inc., a com
pany involved in the construction of
Winwood, and the victim were
cleared of any negligence that may
have contributed to the sexual as
sault, the Odessa American re
ported.
Jurors awarded the victim
$100,000 for past physical suffering,
mental anguish, emotional distress,
shame, embarrassment and humilia
tion, $25,000 for future sufferings.
$3,000 for past medical and psycho
logical care, and $3,000 for future
care.
But the bulk of the award —
$825,000 — came in “additional
damages” designed to penalize
Benchmark, which manages about
3,000 apartment units in the Odessa-
Midland area.
The victim said she hopes the case
sets a precedent.
“I really think (the jurors) sent a
message to apartment managers,”
she told the American. “Hopefully,
this will prevent someone else from
getting raped.”
Benchmark defense attorney Ray
Stoker Jr. would not say whether the
firm would appeal the verdict.
“We are satisfied with the com
pensatory damages but certainly not
the punitive damages,” Stoker said.
The victim’s attorney, Jim Os
born, said jurors worked hard “to
make the world a better place to live.
I hope it makes (apartments) safer.”
Jurors heard from about two
dozen witnesses during the trial, in
cluding the victim, her husband, po
lice officers, private investigators, a
psychologist, former Winwood ten
ants and employees, and Sandy Cox,
Benchmark Properties’ president.
Big Spring defense attorney Ivan
Williams, who represented Dallas-
based Landmark Properties Inc.,
said he was “obviously pleased but
not surprised” that jurors cleared
Landmark of charges that it failed to
provide adequate lighting at the
complex.
Williams said the complex was
constructed by Sunnyvale, which
later merged with several other com
panies to form Landmark Properties
Inc. before the complex was fin
ished.
