Free markets depend on reason.

The award in that case os not reasonable.
Free market does not equate to anarchy or oppression by the masses.
A group of twelve people who decide to indulge their greed buttons is not justice nor is it an expression of the free market anymore than 12 people deciding to rob a bank is lawful.
