The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin reported Tuesday that Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer ordered that  Lynn Sanchez  be paid $ 200   000 in compensatory damages and $ 500   000 in punitive damages following a jury verdict in Sanchez ' s favor . A lawyer for the archdiocese says it will appeal .  Sanchez  worked as a parish assistant in 2014 .
