Two Stealth Defense Verdicts Last Week in Jackson Area
There were two stealth defense verdicts in the Jackson area last week.
The first was in a racial discrimination case in federal court in Jackson. Here is the Complaint in Brown v. Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. The trial started on December 13 and the jury returned a defense verdict on December 14. Here are the verdict and judgment.
Jennifer Hall and Alan Moore of Baker Donelson represented the defendant. Louis Watson, Jr. of Jackson represented the plaintiff. Judge Dan Jordan was the trial judge.
The second defense verdict last week was in a medical malpractice case in Rankin County. Heber Simmons' firm was on the plaintiff side and Watkins Eager was on the defense. I do not know anything about the facts of the case.
Interesting. I also noted that NMC reported on another appellate case of Ashley Ogden's -- $1M verdict knocked down to $200K and a new trial denied, in a premises-liability case.
