1Opinion of the Court
GILMORE, District Judge.
In this appeal from a $325,000 jury verdict, the outrageous conduct of Plaintiffs’ attorney and the failure of the district judge to recognize that under Ohio law there was no basis for recovery require reversal. In addition, the trial of this case resulted in a complete miscarriage of justice, because the district judge failed to control the proceedings, and Defendant’s counsel failed to object when inflammatory and inadmissible matter was put before the jury.
