Strategic Multimedia played a vital role in the recent case Tanner v. Colonial Healthcare, Inc. in which a Sacramento jury awarded the single largest jury verdict in the county’s history.  Follow the story here as covered by the Sacramento Bee:

“Jury orders Auburn nursing home company to pay $28 million in death” by Cynthia Hubert - Sacramento Bee 5/14/10

“Auburn nursing home again under scrutiny in civil trial over death” by Cynthia Hubert - Sacramento Bee 5/12/10

“$29 million verdict upheld against Rocklin Nursing Home Firm ”by Cynthia Hubert - Sacramento Bee 7/14/10

In a strongly worded ruling, a Sacramento Superior Court judge has upheld a $29 million verdict against a Rocklin nursing home company in the 2005 death of an elderly patient.

Judge Roland Candee on Tuesday rejected Horizon West Healthcare’s arguments for a new trial or significantly reduced damages in the case involving Stockton native Francies Tanner.

Candee said "overwhelming" and "devastatingly powerful" evidence in the trial in May supported the jury's verdict and damage awards against Horizon which owns 33 nursing homes mostly in Northern California.

During the course of the trial Strategic edited deposition video, assembled direct examinations using video and transitioning, assisted in PowerPoint development during opening statements & closing arguments and digitized exhibits and graphs for incorporation into closing arguments.  Strategic’s staff also testified in the matter and laid foundations for photographs that ultimately proved important during the course of the trial.
