(Morton County, ND) — A judge is ordering Greenpeace to pay over 300-million dollars in damages for its involvement in protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline. That’s according to the North Dakota Monitor, which reports that’s roughly half of what the organization was originally ordered to pay by a jury earlier this year. The jury’s verdict came after the pipeline’s operator, Energy Transfer, brought a lawsuit against Greenpeace, accusing it of harming the company’s reputation amid anti-pipeline protests nearly a decade ago. On Wednesday the judge reduced the award to 345-million, ruling some of the original damages had no legal basis.
