This jury is getting the message that the plaintiffs' lawyers have been sending them for two years now.

It's clear that this jury is sending a message to the business insurance industry that the American public, including the business community, is sick and tired of insurance companies deceptively handling and denying legitimate claims.

I'm sending a message, and I'm going to do what we used to do years ago - send in the goons.

With trial lawyers, rapport with the jury is very important. An out-of-state lawyer may find it more difficult to connect with a jury, but it's all about preparation.

Coach (Pease) has been really sending the message to me and Gabe this week that we need to pick it up if we want to get where we want to get. I think we got that message and we came up with a big win.

I must have amnesia as I can't remember sending a text message to Mr Eriksson.
