What a horrible precedent this sets. Hope Katz decides to appeal. #katztrial

A pretty rough week for female executives paid less than their male predecessors. http://t.co/pRVF2ZVCJI #katztrial #JillAbramson

Gross. The #katztrial verdict leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not surprised though.

Would love to know the most AB offered to settle (if any) which was rejected by Katz. I am guessing it was a big number. #katztrial

Guess the jury just could not feel pain for a high paid executive #katztrial

I'm not surprised by the #katztrial verdict. Will be interesting to see if jurors give interviews.

Can't help but wonder if the jury would have felt differently if the salaries weren't in the millions? #katztrial #payinequity

Either way they ruled, #katztrial jury deserve kudos for their inquiry and slow deliberation. Showed respect for the process.

I figured the #katztrial would go this way. You want more of the plunder you have to be a better pirate.

Look for more on the trial, including testimony and interviews.
