Ms. Kennedy urged the jury to find in Tesla’s favor on each of the claims.</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉在一份法庭文件中否认知道所谓的歧视和骚扰行为，并且没有采取行动保护黑人员工。Kennedy女士敦促陪审团在每一项指控上都做出有利于特斯拉的裁决。</blockquote></p><p> The jury, after roughly four hours of deliberation, found in favor of Mr. Diaz on all claims and ordered Tesla to pay Mr. Diaz $6.9 million in compensatory damages and $130 million in punitive damages.</p><p><blockquote>经过大约四个小时的审议，陪审团裁定迪亚兹的所有索赔都胜诉，并命令特斯拉向迪亚兹支付690万美元的补偿性赔偿金和1.3亿美元的惩罚性赔偿金。</blockquote></p><p> It is the second time in recent months that the electric-vehicle maker has been found liable in a case involving claims of race-based harassment or discrimination.</p><p><blockquote>这是近几个月来这家电动汽车制造商第二次在涉及种族骚扰或歧视指控的案件中被认定负有责任。</blockquote></p><p> Another Black former Tesla worker, Melvin Berry, won a $1 million judgment in May after an arbitrator found that he was called racial slurs by his supervisors and subjected to other racial conduct in the Fremont factory.
