Because I interpret the trial court's recitations respecting a summary of the facts in this case, and the grounds for its decision to grant a new trial, differently from the majority, I am compelled to dissent. I read those recitations to mean nothing more than a statement to the effect that the trial court deemed his actions to have caused the jury to return an unjust verdict substantially prejudicial to plaintiff's rights. For this reason, I would affirm the trial court's order granting a new trial. See Cobb v. Malone, 92 Ala. 630,9 So. 738 (1891), and its progeny.
