Of course they did. Doesn't mean they will get another trial or reversal but the only way they would do such a thing, is that he won his case and it may or may not be over.

I've seen this drill before many times for different things. It's not about details, it's about a time to show someone wrong and be sanctimonious doing it. Carry on.


No, quite frankly, it's about wanting to know what happened. The dude had a firearm blow up on him and was rather seriously injured. The only way to really prevent the same from happening to someone else is to know what happened. Juries make mistakes; quite often in fact. Taking a trial jury decision for Gospel isn't necessarily a good idea, especially when technical matters are at hand and 40% fault is assigned to the aggrieved party.

The load matters. The pressure testing and lab used matters. The experts matter. The design flaws matter. The contributory negligence matters. All the facts matter, not just the ones that are most beneficial to the publicity case being made by either party.
