KING, C.J.,
Dissenting:
¶ 13. With appropriate regard for the majority, I dissent.
¶ 14. While respecting the work of the jury, I find that a total award of $270,000 for the death of a normal and vibrant 17 year old boy is so low as to shock the conscience. Such an award is indicative of either confusion, bias, prejudice of a combination thereof.
¶ 15. For these reasons, I would reverse and remand for a new trial.
