THE ESTATE OF JOHN FRANCIS CRISTADORO, THROUGH ITS REPRESENTATIVE, REBECCA JONES, AND JOHN HAROLD CRISTADORO, IN HIS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND AS THE TUTOR OF HIS MINOR BROTHER, BRANDON MICHAEL CRISTADORO * NO. 2001-CA-0026 * COURT OF APPEAL * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA * * ******* VERSUS GOLD KIST, INC. AND JAMES DUANE WEAVER ON REHEARING MURRAY, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS I concur in the conclusion that the quantum of damages found by the trier of fact was manifestly erroneous and constituted an abuse of discretion. I agree that the amounts of general and special damages awarded by the majority in the original opinion and reaffirmed on rehearing are the highest amounts a reasonable trier of fact could award in this case.
