Usually judges don't interfere in jurors' decisions, but Lawther said there
were several major grounds to order a new trial in this case: Excessive
damages, irregularities in the proceedings that prevented a fair trial and
misconduct by Hollins' lawyer, Geoffrey Fieger, most well-known as the
lawyer who defended Jack Kevorkian, MD. First, Lawther wrote, the plaintiffs asked for nearly triple the economic damages than they originally said they would. It surprised the defense, and Lawther said he should have had a sidebar that the defense requested during trial to keep the jury from hearing. Instead, "very damaging testimony and medically unsupported figures were presented by surprise," Lawther said. |
