Worry Clinic urges legal horse sense in juries
Dr George W Crane cites cases to urge juries and courts to ground verdicts in fact, not sympathy or politics. He notes a sailor who sued after an injury, a mother who won massive baby dam ages, and a 62 year old trainman who received over 300000, arguing justice favors logic over wealth. He warns against courts pandering to voters and calls readers to request his booklet by mail.
