SO MANY VARIABLES ARE PRESENT IN JURY CASES THAT JURY VERDICTS RETURNED IN CONDEMNATION CASES CANNOT BE ACCURATELY ANALYZED AND EVALUATED. ONE TREND DERIVED FROM A COMPARISON OF A LARGE METROPOLITAN AREA WITH A PREDOMINATELY RURAL AREA IS THAT TRIALS HAVE BEEN MORE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE STATE IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA THAN IN RURAL AREAS. VARIABLES THAT SEEM TO INFLUENCE THE JURY ARE PUBLICITY, PROVINCIALISM, AND PERSONAL REACTIONS TO WITNESSES, ATTORNEYS,ETC. IN CASES DECIDED FOR THE STATE, JURORS SEEM TO DETERMINE THE VALUE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE STATES HIGHEST APPRAISAL AND THE LANDOWNERS LOWEST APPRAISAL.
