Jerrie Gary functioned at a Tyson Foods plant where she was open to comments, gestures and physical contact that she alleged constituted sexual harassment. Tyson dubious the allegation, disagreeing that the behaviour was not unwelcome, that the protested about conduct was not based on sex, that the conduct didn't affect a term, condition or privilege of employment and that proper remedial action was taken in reply to any complaint by Gary of sexual harassment. During the experimental in federal court, a witness for Gary recurrently volunteered inadmissible testimony that the judge had to tell the jury to disrespect. At one point upon an opposition from the defendant's counsel the witness asked, May I say something here? The judge told her she couldn't. Lastly, after the jury left the courtroom the witness had an annoyed outburst that continued into the hallway, in opinion of some of the jurors.
The jury awarded Gary $185,000 in compensatory as well as $800,000 in punitive damages. Tyson supposed that it shouldn't have been liable, that the grants of damages were excessive and unsupported by proof, and that the inadmissible evidence and improper conduct had tainted the proceedings. What progresses of action may Tyson pursue?
