Alberigi was offered other positions at his current pay rate but he wanted to remain a case eligibility worker and the other positions also entailed some face-to-face contact, Murphy said.

Alberigi was not present when the jury returned its verdict.

Murphy said he informed his client by phone that he won the case."He never asked me how much.

He said he is just happy that people believed him," Murphy said.
