Goggins v. Harwood

ROSE, Justice.

This appeal grows out of a judgment entered upon a jury’s verdict which finds that even though appellee Ed Harwood committed an assault and battery upon appellant Jack Goggins on September 14, 1981, the assault and the battery were not “a proximate cause of the injuries sustained” by appellant, and the jury’s further finding that “[wjithout considering” its answer to other questions on the verdict form, the amount which it believed would “fairly compensate the Plaintiff, Jack E. Goggins, for his alleged injuries” was “One Hundred Thousand $100,000.00.”1
