1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
Purdy Brothers Trucking, Inc., and its driver, David Carey (collectively Purdy Brothers), appeal from the district court’s 1 denial of their motion for a new trial following a $3 million verdict in favor of Kaytina Harrison for the wrongful death of her son, Ryan. The case was tried to a jury on the issue of damages only. Purdy Brothers contends the district court abused its discretion by admitting an autopsy report, Harrison’s counsel made prejudicial comments during closing arguments, and the district court erred in awarding prejudgment interest. We affirm.
