Baird v. Norwest Bank
Montana Supreme Court
1Concurring in part, dissenting in part
JUSTICE HUNT, joined by JUSTICE TRIEWEILER,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the majority’s decision regarding Issues I, IV, V, and VI.
However, I dissent with the majority’s decision regarding Issues II, III, and VIII because I believe it disturbs the jury’s fact-finding process. This Court has continuously upheld the fundamental proposition that the jury is entrusted with the responsibility of seeking the truth. Because of our high regard for the jury deliberation process, we have established an exacting standard of review when examining a jury’s verdict.
