The May issue of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter hit newsstands on Tuesday. This edition includes 13 verdicts from 2011.

Seven of the 13 verdicts were defense verdicts. The defense verdicts included two from Hinds County Circuit Court with one tried before Judge Winston Kidd and one before Judge Tommie Green.

Of the six 2011 plaintiff verdicts covered, three were for under $100,000. One plaintiff verdict was the $1.7 million Jones County verdict that I discussed here. Another plaintiff verdict was the $1.1 Gulfport federal court verdict that I discussed here. There was also a $250,000 plaintiff verdict in a Tunica County casino slip-and-fall case.

Here is my post about last month’s issue of MJVR. Every litigator in Mississippi should be reading this publication.
