Heading Rank: 2

Heading: law i. is the jury verdict contrary to the greater weight of the evidence?

Text: Miles filed no post-trial motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial. We have repeatedly held that an assignment of error in this Court  that the evidence did not support the jury's finding  will not be considered by this Court where no timely motion for a new trial was made in the trial court. Mississippi State Highway Commission v. S.B. Grisham, 331 So.2d 925 (Miss. 1976); T.G. Blackwell Chevrolet Company v. Eshee, 261 So.2d 481 (Miss. 1972); West Brothers, Inc. v. Barefield, 239 Miss. 530, 124 So.2d 474 (1960). Also see Estate of Briscoe, 255 So.2d 313, 314 (Miss. 1971). Moreover, the record is replete with evidence supporting the jury verdict. This assignment is without merit.
