Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided March 23, 1998No. 96-3936PublishedCited by 27 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation (“Owens-Coming”) presents two issues to this Court. First, it appeals the district court’s decision granting Betti McClain’s (“McClain”) motion for a new trial on the issue of wrongful death damages. Second, Owens-Coming challenges the district court’s exclusion of certain evidence from the retrial on wrongful death damages. Because we find that the district court neither abused its discretion by ordering a new trial solely on wrongful death damages nor by excluding evidence in the new trial, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
