Attorney obtained a defense verdict at trial

Attorney obtained a defense verdict at trial. Plaintiff was 11 years old when she was struck in the back by a firework on July 4 while watching skateboarders at a park. Two eyewitnesses identified our client as the perpetrator, and he was arrested and tried. Our client was acquitted of all criminal charges in a bench trial, so the family filed the civil suit. The two eyewitnesses testified at trial, but their testimony was inconsistent, and it was revealed that they had a verbal altercation with our client after the incident, which was caught on a youtube video. We were precluded from presenting any evidence regarding the acquittal, and the jury was not allowed to hear any details of it. The plaintiff has physically recovered, but she has permanent scarring on her lower back as a result. Ten out of twelve jurors found in our client's favor.
