After losing a string of slip-and-fall cases over the past two years—some with sanctions for failure to preserve security camera video recordings—the Kroger Co. has won a defense verdict in a premises liability trial in Gwinnett County State Court.
In this case, a store video recording of the incident was used to the store’s advantage. During four hours of deliberation, the jury asked to view the video three more times, according to defense attorney Earl W. “Billy” Gunn, who tried the case with Richard “Rick” Hill and Frederick “Derrick” Cooper, all of Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial. The case was tried in three days before Gwinnett County State Court Judge Emily Brantley, starting Nov. 19.
