The June issue of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter was emailed earlier this week. This edition includes 8 jury verdicts from 2011.

Four of the eight verdicts were defense verdicts. One of the defense verdicts was my recent losing effort in a medical malpractice trial in federal court in Aberdeen.

Of the four plaintiff verdicts, only one was a personal injury case. That was the $1 million Hinds County med-mal verdict that I reported in this post.

The other 3 plaintiff verdicts were:

• the $1.17 Yazoo County shareholder dispute reported in this post;
• a $212,900 federal court verdict in a Katrina negligent misrepresentation case; and
• an $80,000 Hinds County verdict in a nuisance case.

Two of the defense verdict were in personal injury cases. So to recap, there were 3 personal injury jury verdicts reported and 2 of those 3 were defense verdict.

Perhaps someone could forward this information to the Clarion-Ledger and Gannett, who want to pretend like it’s 1999.

Here is my post on the May 2011 edition of MJVR.
