Callaspo Brito v. Ballhew
Callaspo Brito v. Ballhew, 2025 UT App 190 (Christiansen Forster, J.)
Civil
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court abused its discretion when it re-instructed the jury on the perceived inconsistency in the initial verdict.
- Practice tip: If the district court orders a jury to re-deliberate regarding an inconsistency, it should explain to the jury the reasons it is being asked to do so in a completely neutral and impartial way.
