Asbestos Trial Reversed!
On July 27th, Honorable Judge Javier Alvarez awarded a new trial in the case of John Melon, Sr. v. Bondex Int'l and RPM, Inc baised on juror misconduct. After the trial, it was learned one of our jurors was untruthful during voir dire. When asked if any of the panel members had problems awarding money for mental anguish damages, this juror did not raise her hand. During a break in the voir dire, this juror told another juror she would never award mental anguish damages. During the trial, and before deliberations, this juror told another juror she would never award more than funeral and medical expenses. Please find the associated documents below.
