A jury awarded Alice Ku's parents $23.6 million from her husband Harald Herchen, accused of her murder at Taroko National Park in Taiwan. The trial spanned two weeks, focusing on testimonies related to Ku's life and marriage to Herchen, who displayed no emotions during the verdict. Jurors were skeptical of Herchen’s inconsistent accounts and lack of evidence, concluding that experts from Ku's side effectively presented the case. Closing arguments highlighted the family's perseverance in seeking justice after Ku’s tragic disappearance.
Jurors felt something was off as Herchen displayed no emotion about Ku, which raised suspicions about their marriage and her disappearance.
Herchen's explanations, including carrying three phones in one pocket and using a bike pump to inflate a tire, did not convince jurors.
Attorney Todd Davis emphasized three key pieces of evidence linking Herchen to Ku's death, including cellphone data and a suspicious email.
The emotional two-week trial focused on Ku's life, her secret marriage to Herchen, and ultimately, the family's relentless pursuit of justice.
