Lawyer Winter Calls Verdict a Palpably Unjust Compromise
In federal court on Monday attorney Ford Winter pressed for a new trial in the Warrum estate suit against Mrs. John Crider over a note for money loaned. He argued the $11 364.76 verdict was a gross injustice and that the jury had effectively compromised, unjustly shaping the finding as a partial payment rather than full truth. He charged forgery and called the verdict a monstrous outrage, urging the court to overturn the verdict and retry the case.
