It's a ruling bound for appeal, lawyers say.
Unfortunately, the story, doesn't end there.
Fred Herder was one of the day traders Barton shot that day.
He survived and sued, only to take his own life last month.
Herder's own suicide note, according to Weinstock, opens by saying he'd lost US$400,000 in three years.
His lawyers say his addiction to day trading ruined him. In his note, the 57-year-old Herder, a former restaurateur, took responsibility for his own losses.
"I never had the necessary discipline," Herder wrote, according to Weinstock. "I took on too much risk."
