$900,000 Verdict Last Week in Hinds County Premises Liability Case
There was a jury verdict of $900,000 last week in the Hinds County Circuit Court in a premises liability case. The rumor around town this week has been that the verdict was for $2 million, but my investigation revealed a verdict of $900,000.
Judge Malcolm Harrison was the trial judge.
The plaintiffs were victims of armed robbery at the Crossings Apartment on Ridgewood Road in Jackson. The jury's verdict was for one of the two victims. Judge Harrison will determine the damages for the other plaintiff, but I do not know why.
I do not know what the injuries/ damages were. There were no punitive damages in the case.
Precious Martin of Jackson represented the plaintiff. James Holland from Page Kruger in Flowood represented the defendant.
One interesting tidbit I'm hearing is that the spouse of a prominent Jackson defense attorney was on the jury.
