 The plaintiff argued that the proof of liability was "overwhelming," in contrast to Dr. Te's "weak defense." The plaintiff argued that Dr. Te conceded that it was a reasonable conclusion that the "impassable" stricture in the urethra was caused by the hot water therapy. The plaintiff concluded that this concession weakened the defense, especially in view of Dr. Kaminetsky's evidence that the stricture was in the bulbar urethra and Dr. Cohen's testimony that the stricture was caused by the misplacement of the catheter during the WIT procedure. Hence, the plaintiff argued that the verdict was inconsistent with the weight of the evidence.
The plaintiff also challenged the court's failure to provide a circumstantial evidence charge. The plaintiff claimed that the jury was confused by the absence of a circumstantial evidence charge, so that it did not know how to evaluate evidence regarding the standard of care and that the omission of the charge "fostered" the deficient verdict.
Attached to the plaintiff's reply affirmation in support of the motion was an affidavit by Jorge Price, a member of the jury; apparently the one who had made the statement at the time of the verdict. Mr. Price averred that "the jury had a very hard time understanding the questions" on the verdict sheet. Mr. Price further averred that he thought the jury needed a document or statute that set forth the standard of care, and opined that the verdict would have been for the plaintiff had the jury known what the standard was. Mr. Price further stated that he believed that the plaintiff was entitled to be compensated by Dr. Te, "but that was not what the questions asked." Mr. Price opined that the jury was confused because the court's instructions did not specify the standard of care and asserted that "I didn't know how to use the evidence we had to answer the questions."
The court granted the motion to set aside the verdict. The court held that it declined to provide a circumstantial evidence charge because there was direct evidence consisting of trial testimony, depositions and expert reports. The court made no findings with respect to plaintiff's weight of the evidence challenge to the verdict. Rather, the court proclaimed that it was "stunned" by the "last question asked by the jury" regarding whether there was a "manual for the operation in question [which] was allegedly disregarded." The court characterized this as "the jury [...] looking for something out of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and when the job was not made easy, it folded its collective tent" and returned a defense verdict. The court held thatPeek.
