A six-person jury has found for the defense in the case of a former Goshen woman who says she exacerbated existing injuries to her back, right arm, left knee and left leg following an April 2014 car crash.

Attorneys for Mary Louise Hawk, 64, alleged she was hurt as a direct cause to the rear-end collision, and in closing arguments sought $950,000. But the Litchfield Superior Court  jury—which heard conflicted testimony about how and when Hawk was injured—returned a verdict for the defense.
