Testimonials from Bobbi Kristina's friends and Bobby Brown led to Bedford's ruling that her death, as well as the damages incurred, are priceless.

Judge Bedford, in his ruling, said that "To determine the value of life is pretty difficult. The court has been back there primarily struggling with that particular issue."

According to Glenda Hatchett, a representative of the Brown estate, Nick Gordon's actions were horrific especially given that Bobbi Kristina loved and trusted him.

"The judge should send a strong message in the award of punitive damages that this despicable behavior is inexcusable and will not be tolerated," said Hatchett.

Gordon had missed the court hearing, In his absence, he was represented by state-appointed attorneys, Joe Habachy and Jose Baez.

"These are allegations are baseless," said Baez. "Gordon is heartbroken and should not be charged with this 'fictitious assault.'"

Bobbi Kristina died in July 2015, six months after she had been put in intensive care.  Autopsy results show that at her time of death, Bobbi Kristina's system was full of alcohol and marijuana among other drugs.
