Posted on February 9, 2011 by Philip Thomas

A Hinds County jury returned a defense verdict on Friday in a nursing home case.

The case involved the alleged wrongful death of a 92–year old resident of Manhattan Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jackson. The woman suffered from pressure sores with infection and sepsis, dehydration and malnutrition.

The jury returned a 10–2 defense verdict after a one week trial.

Barry Ford, Davis Frye and Brad Moody with Baker Donelson in Jackson represented the Defendant.

Trae Sims of Canton represented the Plaintiff.

Judge Bill Gowan was the trial judge.

Damn, that must've been some good defense lawyering. Anybody see any of this? I'm curious how Judge Gowan is doing.

I read about this case and frankly I'm suprised the defense team got a defense verdict in Hinds County on such a bad case.

Trae Sims does good work on NH cases, but I am never surprised to see Barry Ford win.
