Florida jurors in the $7 million, decade-old wage dispute between field workers and a sugar grower knew they had no choice. After nearly 11 hours of deliberation, the five-woman, one-man jury handed victory to Atlantic Sugar Association. They concluded that the grower did not breach a contract to pay workers by the ton of sugar cane cut. But the jurors also issued a note, along with the verdict, taking to task the corporate defendant, its courtroom defenders, and protested the limited choice before them.
