Question:
- According to the REMITTITUR, "The trial court also found that "the amount of the verdict, in this case, is so excessive on its face as to suggest that it was motivated by bias, sympathy, passion or prejudice, rather than by a fair and objective consideration of the evidence." In making this ruling, the trial court specifically found that Murray's actions at trial were "geared toward inflaming the jury," which contributed to the jury's excessive verdict. The trial court also noted that Allied Concrete's aggressive defense strategy further served "to create additional passion and sympathy for Lester and anger towards [Allied Concrete]." If you were the judge in this case, and you had all the facts of this case before you, would you agree with the Remittitur statement, or disagree?Why or why not?
