A jury in Montgomery County recently told the judge sitting on a complex case that they were deadlocked in their deliberations. The lawsuit arose when the state sued a California pharmaceutical company and alleged that the company had been overcharging Alabama’s Medicaid program for both generic and prescription drugs that were given out through the state’s program. The lawyer for the state asked the Montgomery County jury to return a verdict containing the nearly $25 million in actual damages, and to tack on a punitive damage award of three to five times that amount so that the drug company would feel the pain and learn a lesson. However, after days of deliberation, the jury remained deadlocked even while the attorneys for both sides continued to try to reach a settlement agreement.
