I'm not sure where they are getting their information for that segment. We have not made a decision on what to do with the outcome of this case and we are still weighing our options.

Overturning jury verdicts is tough business. Judges hate it because it removes the purpose of even having juries if the judges will just reverse whenever they feel like it--especially in civil cases like this. Of course, most juries are boxes of rocks anyway, but that's how the system goes.

Based on a quick look, Montana does not have an intermediate Court of Appeals like most states--everything goes straight to the state Supreme Court. That court has 7 members, 6 of which are men.

Just stereotyping, I'd say that H&B would have a better chance than most civil defendants of overturning a jury verdict because this is a defendant whose products has likely been used by almost all of the justices at some point in their lives.

It's really not my place to say what you guys should do but, we all agree (strike that - most of us agree) that the incident was an ACCIDENT and it was very tragic. However, you guys sell a awful lot of bats - if you guys decide NOT to appeal and just settle the case, where does it end?
