Question Presented (from Petition)

The question presented is whether an appellate court may reverse a jury verdict based on its own view that expert testimony was credible, "unrebutted," and "uncontradicted," or instead whether the Seventh Amendment requires the jury to make determinations about credibility and the weight of the evidence in determining whether a party has properly carried its burden of proof.
