How Judge Quattlebaum decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He treats the complete evidentiary record as controlling even under deferential review when the trial court's finding lacks substantial support.
“But while clear error review is deferential, it is not toothless.”
Cautions
He rejects efforts to infer a factual finding from a jury's inability to reach a verdict.
“A trial court cannot reach negative inferences from a jury’s failure to reach a verdict.”
