So Who Was Asked, Anyway?
From the article:
Quote:
|
[NH Supreme Court Justice] Broderick said, "a reasonable juror could have reached the verdict awarded to Akwa Vista. Thus, the defendants have failed to establish that the verdict was conclusively against the weight of the evidence, and we cannot say that the trial court erred in denying the defendants' motion for remittitur."
|
 This reasonable juror would have weighed the fact that the US had entered its worst banking disaster of modern times. (And reduced the award handed over).
Plus, whatever happened to dropping the Latin legal-eze? "
Remittitur, geez..."
