SHANE BRALEY v. STATE OF FLORIDA

How courts have described this case

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

• bare denial of motion for new trial does not indicate judge considered merits of claims
• damages may be “incapable of computation” and, thus, dependent on “judgment of the fact-finding tribunal in appraising suffering and deprivation and translating them into a compensatory sum”
• fundamental test is motion “ought not to be granted unless on a survey of the whole case it appears to the judicial conscience and judgment that otherwise a miscarriage of justice will result”
