Defendant Wins Verdict In Mercer County Trial
A Mercer County Circuit Court jury deliberated two hours before ruling in favor of Timothy Lee Phillips in a 1980 truck pedestrian case on State Rt. 71 at Thornhill. Six-year-old Moses Odell suffered a head laceration, back injury, concussion and bruised kidney after being struck by a Bronco on March 15, 1980.

Akers led the suit. Phillips was represented by Joseph M. Sanders Jr. and Buford Early.
