United States District Court, E. D. Tennessee, N. D.

December 5, 1979.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rom L. Meares, Maryville, Tenn., for plaintiffs.

Howard H. Vogel, Ben W. Williamson, Jr., Knoxville, Tenn., for defendants.


OPINION AS RENDERED FROM THE BENCH

ROBERT L. TAYLOR, District Judge.

Before the Court is the motion for a new trial or a remittitur filed by the defendants. The motion asserts that the verdicts are excessive and the verdict of Mrs. Williams is without evidence to support it. The verdict for Mr. Williams was $250,000.00; the verdict for Mrs. Williams was $25,000.00.

When a verdict is excessive, the Court has the right and the duty to reduce it.
