Description
The defendant appeals form an order denying his motion for new trial grounded on his claim that the jurys verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence. He contends, and we agree, that the trial court mistakenly believed that if the evidence presented was sufficient to support the jurys verdict, it was not legally permitted to grant a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.{/Cite} Since the trial court, laboring under this mistaken belief, thus failed to address the defendants new trial claim, its order denying the defendants motion must be reversed and the cause remanded with directions that the trial court determine whether the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.{/Cite}
