Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Empire's motion for a new trial on damages or, alternatively, a remittitur. It held that the jury's awards for diminution in value and lost profits were supported by the evidence and were neither manifestly unjust nor so excessive as to shock the conscience. The court emphasized that conflicting evidence did not authorize appellate reweighing of the jury's credibility determinations.
