These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When reviewing a trial court’s denial of a motion for j.n.o.v. or new trial, this Court determines if there is any evidence to support the jury’s verdict. Lofty v. Fuller, 223 Ga. App. 95, 97 (2) ( 477 SE2d 30 ) (1996). Where a jury returns a verdict and it has the approval of the trial judge, the same must be affirmed on appeal if there is any evidence to support it as the jurors are the sole and exclusive judges of the weight and credit given the evidence. The appellate court must construe the evidence with every inference and presumption in favor of upholding the verdict, and after judgment, the evidence must be construed to uphold the verdict even where the evidence is in conflict. As long as there is some evidence to support the verdict, the denial of defendant’s motions for new trial and j.n.o.v. will not be disturbed.”
