7-23-08 Casey Pellicer, et al. v. St. Barnabas Hospital, et
al. (A-88/89/90/91-07)
The jury selection process resulted in a jury panel that could
not fairly and dispassionately evaluate the difficult and
emotionally-charged issues in this case. In addition, the trial
was tainted by cumulative error and concerns about the
improprieties that infected this trial call the verdict into
question because the historic and extraordinary damage award
cannot be separated from those errors.
