How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding “the evidentiary basis for the jury’s assessment of damages dispels any presumption that the excessiveness of the verdict was motivated by passion”
- “Once the presumption of passion that might arise from a flagrantly excessive verdict is dispelled, we must look for some other indication in the proceedings that would support a finding the jury was angry with the defendants and motivated to punish them.”
- “Our standard of review for rulings on a motion for new trial depends on the grounds for new trial asserted in the motion and ruled upon by the court. Where the motion and ruling are based on a discretionary ground, our review is for an abuse of discretion.”
