The Senate Democrat and 11 other jurors sided Wednesday with a 51-year-old St. Louis County man, in his lawsuit against QuikTrip over his tumble outside a convenience store.
The jurors awarded $45,000 in damages to Leotis Tate. But he’ll only get $33,750 because the jury deemed him to be 25 percent at fault. Each side must pay their own attorneys fees.
McCaskill wasn’t available for comment afterward but she later tweeted that she was returning to Washington to repeal a law that lets Congress skip jury duty. She wrote: “We all should serve.”
