Recent Trial Decisions:
Willie Buckley v. Donald Hinton, Forrest County, Mississippi, Circuit Court (August 2009)
Amanda Mullins secured a defense verdict in a case of alleged automobile negligence. The Plaintiff was traveling on a through highway and alleged that the Defendant pulled out in front of the Plaintiff from a side road causing the Plaintiff to sustain a fractured knee and other injuries. After securing a solid jury through her voir dire, Ms. Mullins established that the Defendant actually had the right of way at the time. Then, Mr. Coleman attacked the Plaintiffs credibility by exposing inconsistencies in his deposition testimony, trial testimony, and medical records. Mr. Coleman proved to the jury that the Plaintiff was not truthful about an undisclosed prior knee injury, and that the Plaintiff did not actually fracture his knee in this accident.
Hobson v. Rumphs, Rankin County, Mississippi, Circuit Court (January 2009)
Amanda Mullins and Toby Gammill received a unanimous defense verdict in the County Court of Rankin County in an automobile negligence case, where it was alleged that the defendant driver hydroplaned across the center line and injured the plaintiff.
