January Miss. Jury Verdict Reporter: $150,000 in Rankin County Alienation of Affection Case

By Philip Thomas on January 6, 2014 Posted in Alienation of Affection Lawsuits, Verdicts in Mississippi

The January 2014 edition of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter has been released. Here is a preview of the edition, which reports on the following verdicts:

$182,000 verdict- Jackson federal court employment contract case reported here;
$150,000 verdict- Rankin County alienation of affection case;
$64,750 verdict- Hinds County underinsured motorist case;
$25,000 verdict- Leflore County conversion case;
defense verdict- DeSoto County wrongful death auto accident case;
defense verdict- Scott County slip-and-fall premises liability case;
defense verdict- Pike County insurance contract dispute;
defense verdict- Harrison County medical malpractice case;
summary judgement- Lafayette County pool diving accident resulting in paralysis.

My Take:

Rankin County is turning into a judicial hell hole for alienation of affection defendants. A standard alienation of affection case is worth more in the county than a car wreck case with decent medical bills.
