CALDERON–CARDONA v. DEM. PEOPLE’S REP. OF KOREA Cite as 723 F.Supp.2d 441 (D.Puerto Rico 2010) her family life and her relationship with her parents and siblings. Accordingly, Ana is awarded $5,000,000 as compensatory damages. Defendants are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of Ana’s compensatory damages. G. Hilda Calderon–Cardona Hilda Calderon–Cardona (‘‘Hilda’’) is a citizen of the United States (Exhibit No. 32) and resides in Puerto Rico. From the time of her father’s death, Hilda has experienced emotional pain and suffering, loss of her father’s society, companionship, comfort, advice and counsel and has suffered severe mental anguish and extreme emotional distress. Hilda testified at trial that she had fond memories of her childhood and had a very ‘‘affectionate’’ relationship with her father who would often play with her and her siblings. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 45, ln. 3–5) She stated that ‘‘on Saturdays, he [Carmelo] would sit on the porch and would talk—even while—when we were married, he would sit on the porch on Saturdays and talk and remembering things from our past. And even married, we’d go out together as a group. Go to the countryside to visit family. And it was a very close relationship.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 45, ln. 6–11) Hilda also testified that, after giving birth to her children, she has fond memories of visiting her parents together with her daughters, and that Carmelo ‘‘would pick up my youngest daughter, she was a year old—three years old at that time, and he called her Chispita, and he would raise her up in his arms, and she would be very happy.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 44, ln. 17–22) Hilda expressed her sadness that her younger children missed the opportunity to know their grandfather, Carmelo, because he ‘‘was a great example for all of us,’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 47, 473 ln. 23–24), but she is happy that her older children remember him fondly. She recalled at trial that she felt feeling ‘‘devastated’’ upon learning of Carmelo’s murder, and that as soon as she learned the terrible news, she ‘‘without even knowing what I was doing, I went to my mother’s house’’ to grieve with the rest of her family. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 46, ln. 18–22). Hilda stated that when she arrived to Eladia’s home, Gloria was in the room with their mother and right away said to her, ‘‘You can’t cry. You can’t cry. Remember that mom has a heart condition, so you have to calm down.’’ Hilda recalled that it was ‘‘impossible’’ for her to comply with Gloria’s request. (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, pp. 46–47) Hilda described the week-long wait for her father’s body to arrive for burial as ‘‘terrible.’’ ‘‘Because what comes to mind is that you don’t know how that body is going to arrive. I mean, what happened? You know that—that he’s dead, but you don’t know how the cadaver is going to arrive, so it was a wait that was full of anguish.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 47, ln. 12–16) Hilda further described the sadness that accompanied family gatherings every Saturday and during the holidays after Carmelo’s murder. She said, ‘‘The holidays weren’t the same TTT I would go to— Saturday home, it wasn’t the same without him [Carmelo]. So it’s—it’s a very hard feeling knowing that somebody that’s no longer with you.’’ (Trial Transcript, Dec. 3, 2009, p. 50, ln. 2–7) As an American citizen, Hilda has a direct cause of action under section 1605A. She has suffered in many ways from the attack. Her family life has been permanently disrupted and her childhood and past relationship with her parents and siblings has been marred. Hilda is therefore entitled to the following award for each of
