To assess the reasonableness or excessiveness of a punitive damages award, we
consider: (1) “the degree of reprehensibility of the defendant’s conduct,” (2) the ratio
between punitive damages and actual harm (compensatory damages), and (3) “the
civil or criminal penalties that could be imposed for comparable misconduct.” BMW
