Jury rejects Harry Reid's lawsuit against fitness band maker
After eight days of testimony, the eight-member civil trial jury deliberated about an hour before declaring that Reid never proved the first of 10 questions they were asked to decide: that the device Reid used that day was a TheraBand made by Ohio-based Hygenic Corp.
Their lawyer, James Wilkes II of Tampa, Florida, said he respected the Nevada jury's decision."I may not agree with the outcome, but I agree with the way we got there," Wilkes said."My client always believed in the product, believes that the product is safe, is not unreasonably dangerous for anyone, and they stand behind it," he said."That's all I have to say.
Quiat reminded jurors during closing arguments on Friday that they would never know for sure if the device Reid was using was made by Hygenic. The company attorney also raised questions about Reid's truthfulness. Company experts and witnesses testified that Reid misused the device, making him responsible for blindness in his right eye, broken facial bones, fractured ribs, a concussion and bruises.
