Defense and plaintiffs’ attorneys had widely different explanations for a medical malpractice defense verdict that followed a two-week trial in Emanuel County Superior Court in Swainsboro. Defense attorneys attributed their win to the facts. Plaintiffs’ attorneys blamed their loss on a jury that was generous to well-liked, small-town doctors.

Griggs and David Nelson of Chambless Higdon Richardson Katz & Griggs in Macon defended Dr. Anthony Davis, an internist. “The art of the defense was to present the medicine to the jury in terms that they could understand,” Insley added.
