A a Kalamazoo circuit court jury found innocent Ford motor co. In a liability suit brought by a woman who contended she was dragged by her car after its transmission slipped into gear. The jury deliberated for 90 minutes before returning the verdict Friday. The suit alleged that Kathleen. Armstrong 56, suffered spinal injuries in 1976 when her 1971 Mercury a automatic transmission slipped from Park to reverse and she was dragged across a parking lot. Quot this Case will be appealed a said mrs. Armstrong a attorney Mark Zarbock. Ford attorney Donald Souter who had argued during the 10-Day trial that the woman did not properly place the gear selector in Park said the verdict Quot substantiates Fords opinion that there is nothing wrong with their jury Foreman Fred Beles said the verdict was unanimous. Quot in my personal opinion we re talking about product viability versus consumer responsibility a Beles said. Quot mrs. Armstrong knew where Park was she knew where the indicator was. She had driven the car a number of sixty deaths and More than 1000 injuries have been tied to the transmission problems in Ford and Mercury cars by researchers at the National Highway traffic safety administration officials say.

A we Are pleased at the unanimous verdict in our favor a said h r. Nolte Fords vice president and general counsel.
