A U.S. federal judge threw out a $15 million jury verdict and ordered a new trial in a lawsuit against Ford Motor Co. by a Tulsa, Okla., couple whose son died in a rollover crash in 2003. The judge said Ford showed in post-trial motions that "it was prejudiced by plaintiffs counsel's conduct, and the jury's unprecedented verdict for noneconomic damages supports this conclusion." The plaintiffs attorney said that ordering a new trial is "insulting" to the jury that heard and considered the evidence.
