000 in damages to tae Walker

ploye injured last year in a two
truck collision.

Smith aaid Turnell suffered
hark and head Injuries and a
disloraU J shoulder and would
be 16 percent incapacitated

Defense lawyer M. Hendricks
Brown of Fort Worth argued that
Turnell waa traveling on the
ahoulder of the road, but whan
Pierre attempted to paas him, he
pulled the pickup bark into tha
road, and Pierre could not help
but hit him.
He alao argued that although
Turnell waa Injured, the injuries

elatmed, and called the sum of
money the plaintiff was asking
"unreasonable" and "astronomi
cal."
Smith had asked the Jury to
award hia client 172,000.

The jury ruled that the true'
owner, Foy McMahan, waa negli
gent in not checking to Bee tha*
Pierre had an unespired and valid
driver license.

menial pain caused by the acci-
dent. Turnell'* decrease ia hia
rapacity to work, and all

lie $351) before the accident and
$50 afterward.
