A New Jersey appeals court on Thursday overturned a landmark $105 million verdict against a stadium vendor that sold beer to a drunken fan who later paralyzed a girl in an auto wreck. Ordering a new trial, the panel said the trial court improperly allowed testimony about the "drinking environment" at the 1999 football game at Giants Stadium. "The admission of this evidence cannot be considered harmless. A central theme of plaintiffs' case was the culture of intoxication at the stadium," the court wrote.
