1Opinion of the Court
HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.
Appellant Thamara Fenolio was the plaintiff in this diversity action following an automobile accident which left her with severe injuries and some permanent disfigurement. The jury returned a verdict for Fenolio and against the defendants on the issue of liability and awarded Fenolio damages of $125,000. Fenolio had sought damages of $920,000. Fenolio appeals the damage award, contending that misleading statements by the defendants’ counsel during closing arguments resulted in a damage award which was against the manifest weight of the evidence.
