On Wednesday a jury awarded a former longtime UC San Diego doctor and faculty member Kevin Murphy more than $39 million.
Outside of the courthouse, he told reporters for the first time in eight years he could finally get some sleep.
Murphy's comments came about 30 minutes after a jury unanimously sided with his legal team's arguments. Murphy, a former UC San Diego Oncologist, and researcher, filed a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit against the University system back in September of 2020. "Doctor Murphy had a very grateful patient who left a gift for him of $10 million so that he could do his TMS research, but for a number of different reasons that money did not go to Dr. Murphy,” Murphy’s attorney Mark Quigley said. “It went to the Moores Cancer Center which created an issue with Dr. Murphy and one of the other faculty members.
