Pampellonne v. United States Trust Co.

Alexander, J.,

dissents in memorandum as follows: I find no warrant for a further reduction of the jury’s verdict. While no doubt the original verdict of $4,000,000 was clearly excessive, in my view the evaluation by the Trial Judge, who had observed the witnesses and heard all the testimony, that $900,000 was fair compensation for plaintiff’s injuries, should not be disturbed.
