This case will pave the way for future class action lawsuits, and perhaps criminal or regulatory cases.

If someone is stuck on the fact that the jury awarded a couple of people punitive damages, they're missing the forest for the trees.

Courts are less likely to award further punitive damages. Those who doesn't have the resources to go against Monsanto's lawyers would have incentives to participate in a class action lawsuit.
