AP report: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/10/31/funeral.protests.ap/index.html (via CNN)

The Westboro Baptist Church has lost a lawsuit filed against it by a grieving military family to the tune of at least $2.9mil in compensatory damages.  WJZ 13 reported the $10.5 mil figure, which I believe adds in the punitive damages award by the jury -- who found that the cult-like church was liable for invasion of privacy and intent to inflict emotional distress.

According to WJZ, the church only has $1mil in assets.  I believe it's highly likely for an appeal.
