Description
Plaintiffs brought an action to recover damages for injuries incurred in an accident involving the Cirillo car driven by decedent in which his wife, Betty Louise Cirillo, was a passenger; the car driven by Geraldine K. Pierce, a party defendant; and a station wagon driven by Garland R. Reneau, also named as a defendant. During the pendency of the action, plaintiffs and the defendant Pierce entered into a "Covenant Not to Execute" and for such reason counsel for defendant Pierce did not appear or participate in the trial of the case. The jury, however, was instructed that such fact should be disregarded in its deliberations, and in arriving at a verdict or verdicts the jury was told to consider the matter as though defendant Pierce was present with counsel throughout the trial. Four separate verdicts were returned by the jury. In two of those verdicts the jury found generally for the plaintiffs and against the defendant Pierce and assessed damages in favor of the plaintiff-administrator in the sum of $10,000 and for plaintiff Cirillo in the sum of $7,500. In the other two the jury found generally for the defendant Reneau and against the plaintiffs. Judgment was entered accordingly, a motion and amended motion by plaintiffs for new trial were denied, and plaintiffs have now appealed from the said judgment. The defendant Pierce did not appear or participate in the appeal.
