A Columbus jury delivered a $4 million post-apportioned award to the parents of a man killed during an early-morning party at a Columbus apartment complex, holding the management company liable for 90 percent of the judgment while dividing the rest between the deceased and his nondefendant killer.

The pre-apportioned award includes $2.5 million in punitive damages against defendant McCorlew Realty Inc.

Shiver Hamilton partner R. Scott Campbell said the highest defense offer to settle pretrial was $25,000.
