Sympathy Swayed Jury in Bridgeport Trial Verdict
Debneski and a companion with a wagon of cider were struck as Debneski stepped onto Boston Post road. Judge Wolfe voided jury sympathy as a factor, finding fault with the plaintiff for crossing and noting a broken car window and dented fender as evidence of collision with Young's auto. The verdict of 2500 against the plaintiff and her minor children was challenged as influenced by sympathy, with jurors from Bridgeport and surrounding towns serving.
