Good answer....
Let's see what happened.....
Holy crap....Messenger wins!
Jury finds in his favor and they settle on damages....
The jury rendered a plaintiff's verdict, but it assigned 25% comparative negligence to Savane. The parties reached a $75,000 settlement according to the terms of a $90,000/$30,000 high/low agreement, which was established during the trial. The agreement provided for a variable award based on the percentage of Singh's liability.
