In a civil battle between a DUI driver who caused a car crash and the preacher who was the victim, a Georgia jury sided with the reformed drinker. The plaintiff asked for nearly $2 million in compensatory and punitive damages, but the jury came back with a verdict of about $20,000. Defense attorney Hilliard V. Castilla said jurors told him later they were moved by the "theme of redemption" in the story of Alexandrina Brown, a grieving woman who had turned to alcohol, then turned her life around after the crash.
