Here is a preview of the verdicts detailed in the October issue of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter:
- $500,000 verdict- Hinds County slip-and-fall case discussed here (9/10/14);
- $200,000 verdict (but plaintiff 50% fault)- Tunica County pedestrian-vehicle accident outside casino;
- $150,000 verdict- Jackson federal court employment due process case (8/20/14);
- $30,000 verdict- Harrison County uninsured motorist car wreck case (9/12/14);
- defense verdict- Lafayette County medical malpractice case alleging OB-gyn negligence (8/6/14);
- defense verdict- Madison County alienation of affection case (9/4/14); and
- defense verdict- Jackson County insurance agent negligence case (3/21/14).
My Take:
A defense verdict in an alienation of affection trial? I didn’t know that was possible.
Shannon Ragland’s description of the case is worth the yearly subscription for the MJVR. One excerpt: “he suggested that his relationship with Denise was not a hot and ongoing affair, but instead just an occasional fling and not Denise’s only one at that.”
