How courts have described this case

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

• where plaintiff's credibility was crucial to the trial, her reference to Cubans working at an unemployment office as \scum\ had the effect of prejudicing the jury against her
• \An atmosphere was created in which the jury would dislike the Plaintiff because she made such a comment and then rule against the Plaintiff simply because they disliked her.\
• any tangential relevance the evidence established was heavily outweighed by its prejudicial effect
• “ ‘Patently inflammatory appeals to prejudice before the jury may afford ground for reversal notwithstanding the attempt by the trial court to remove their effect by instructing the jury to disregard the remarks.’”
