a trial judge hears a motion for remittance or the trial judge's duty is to review the record for evidence that supports the amount of human to damages granted and that shows that he committed damages award is not the result of passion partiality or corruption in this case of the trial judge did not do that and instead the trial judge  thoughts in great detail and what the assaults are are clearly a waiting of the evidence as if he were considered the facts of this case which is a private matter between them only members well it's forgery that's what  it's it's violation of the criminal law it's left i do not understand the statement that it is a private matter between family members there are many heinous crimes yes that are private matters between family members he goes  punitive damages is him proper now this is after six years of litigation and a trial award punitive damages in this case now the judge who presided over this case is starting out his decision  then he goes on to say there is circumstantial evidence that the signature on certain documents because the research render formal suit were forged there were  there was the check which had forged signatures all of them oh on that the circumstantial evidence that the signature was put there by the trial he judges remembering things that happened outside of the trial he's referring to things out outside of the trial and calling them fat  many have been is simply honoring her mother's wishes in taking the action that she did there was no evidence to establish that robin johnson was committing forgery at the request of her brother again these were things that might have been argued in the pretrial motions but it was not part of the trial and so the judge what the judge is doing in this all on that only the judge is prejudiced in the case but also on all of the this decision through any language other than it's just wrong he wasn't jim going what he was supposed to do she presented the piece to the state's attorney and no criminal charges were ever brought against the defendants this specific point was of manner of heated debate between me and the trial judge because the trial judge said he was going to let that it that the prosecut totally improper and i'm asking you at the school reverse they decision and your judgments on the jury's heard as  they are not favored in the law and the courts must take cars to see that the punitive damages are in that improperly or unwisely or that there's two types of damages present in this case there is compensatory damages the defendant and others to do such things now i'm going to look at reprehensive building which appears to be probably the most important factor in determining who is an insurance company with billions of dollars and in essence exploiting others this is someone who these are two people with relatively the same means when you look to whether the conduct the situation were last year over the course of the years and whether the harm was the result of intentional mail us trickery deceit or mere accident i believe the court was correct when it went to determine that when we are children we are taught to listen to our parents now that's not saying excuses anyones behavior by any means that does not excuse anyone's behavior was there know from my recollection i believe that there was ever some point in that trial that it came out that robyn johnson says i think she was doing this under the direction of her mother with regards to jeremy trails that from my recollection of robbing a base that is like a different than this this type of situation or robbing a bank is a situation that could definitely cause someone to be killed to be seriously injured as opposed to this situation where you have and i themselves which would be roughly twenty thousand dollars at least because of the yearly green was on or forty thousand or they could borrow against the cash value or they had to surrender it and take the cash value it was one of those three the one seven share of the cash surrender value was about six hundred twelve thousand roughly ninety thousand per comb they were that are in essence to make it to that approximate ninety thousand dollars so i believe the jury in with regards to jeremy travis that he testified through his deposition that he received twenty five thousand an initially in the jury came back in awarding sixty five thousand actual damages so i believe the jury believed the evidence that would support that they believe that the only option at that time was to surrender the p
