The ex-wife of former Bush administration lawyer John Michael Farren has been awarded $28.6 million in damages by a Connecticut jury who found him liable for beating her nearly to death at their New Canaan mansion in 2010.
The verdict came in Mary Margaret Farren’s lawsuit against her ex-husband, a White House lawyer for President George W. Bush and general counsel for Xerox Corp.

The attack allegedly occurred after Mary Farren, who is also a lawyer, informed her husband she was filing for divorce.
