Michelle M. Smith, Appellant v. Kartika Hopper, Appellee — Baker, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Baker dissented from the decision affirming a new trial, concluding that the circuit court manifestly abused its discretion. She reasoned that the appellee failed to contemporaneously object to improper closing argument, received the limiting instruction she requested, and did not challenge the sufficiency of that relief before the unfavorable verdict. The dissent would therefore deny the motion for a new trial.
