A U.S. federal judge has ordered a new trial in the case of an Oklahoma couple who sued Ford Motor Company after their son was killed in a roll over crash. The judge said on Tuesday that trial error and the size of the award warranted a new trial.
Kevin and Veronica Moody received a multi-million dollar jury verdict in November 2006. Their 18-year-old son, Tyler, died in 2003 after he lost control of his Ford Explorer and it flipped more than one and a half times before coming to rest upside down.
A new trial date has been set for July 16th.
The case is Moody v. Ford Motor Company (N.D. OK)
