Stallworth v. Boren8/20/2002
the jury's concerns were pure speculation. Indeed, the jury was nonetheless able to reach a verdict the day after its second -- and only legitimate -- request to the court was denied. Cf. Medeiros. v. Udell, 34 Haw. 632, 637-38 (1938) (where the jury returned a verdict despite the fact that its earlier request for a read back of certain testimony could not be fulfilled, deciding that "the jury concluded that a verdict could be fairly reached without it").
In this case, as has been the case for over a century, " t may be that the trial judge thought that the verdict should have been for the plaintiff, and it may also be that that view would find support in the evidence. The matter, however, was peculiarly one for the determination of the jury and, clearly, no sufficient cause appeared for disturbing its finding or verdict." Ahmi, 14 Haw. at 303.
IV. Conclusion.
We therefore reverse the court's March 15, 2000 order.
