How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the trial judge’s statement that he could not say the jury reached the right verdict, nor could he say they reached the wrong verdict, amounted to impermissible deference to the jury’s verdict as the judge was “disclaiming any opinion of his own”
• remanding for new trial after trial court approved verdict with “countervailing and irreconcilable remarks”
