Hung Jury in Tunica County Ford Motor Co. Products Liability Case
A Tunica County jury failed to reach a verdict after deliberating into the early morning hours Saturday in a products liability case against Ford Motor Co., resulting in a mistrial.
Unfortunately, I do not know much about the alleged defect. I believe the case involved a vehicle catching on fire after a crash.
The trial judge had a capital murder trial starting on Monday, resulting in the jury having to deliberate late into the night Friday before the mistrial was declared.
Plaintiff’s attorneys were Ralph Chapman and Dennis Sweet. Ford’s lawyers included Barry Ford and Robert Walker from Baker Donelson and out-of-state lawyers.
This follows Ford’s defense verdict in Jefferson County in October.
