A computer software glitch during jury selection in Escalante v. State Farm that came to light only after the jury reached a verdict was enough to convince a Pennsylvania Superior Court panel to toss out the $800,000 verdict against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. and remand for a new trial.

Judges John T. Bender, Alice Dubow and Correale Stevens reviewed the case and upheld both of the trial court’s previous orders.
