- “It is not this Court’s prerogative to substitute its own judgment as to the amount of damages for that of the jury.”
- “The jury made their findings on the basis of their judgment as to the credibility and weight they felt the evidence deserved. Such determinations are well within the province of the jury and provide no basis for a new trial.”
- “The mere fact that neither the plaintiff nor the Court has been able to mathematically deduce how the jury arrived a[t] such a figure does not mandate that the jury’s verdict should be overturned or a new trial awarded by this Court.”
