Connor T. Hansen, J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. The majority would impose its judgment as to the amount of damages on that of the jury and the experienced and able trial judge who presided over the trial and carefully, thoroughly and deliberately considered the matter in motions after verdict before entering judgment. Admittedly this court has the duty and responsibility to review the assessment of damages. However, in my opinion, in this case, such an intrusion on the province of the jury and the trial court is unwarranted. I would affirm the judgment of the trial court. I am authorized to state that Mr. Justice Robert W. Hansen joins with me in this dissent.
