Danny Petifurd, a former employee, sued the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) for retaliation under the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA) after his termination. A jury found in favor of Petifurd, and the trial court denied DOC's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) and awarded Petifurd attorneys' fees with a 1.5 multiplier. On appeal, the Western District affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that Petifurd presented a submissible case for retaliation and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in applying the fee multiplier. The court also granted Petifurd's motion for appellate attorneys' fees and remanded the case for their determination.
