$6.24 MILLION AGE DISCRIMINATION VERDICT OVERTURNED
 
 
The First Circuit found that an employer fired two employees in "an insensitive overreaction to a series of minor transgressions." However, the entire age discrimination claim was that plaintiffs were over 40, fired and replaced with younger employees, who were also over 40. Finding no discriminatory intent, even though the jury was justified in disbelieving defendant's stated reasons for firing plaintiffs, the First Circuit was compelled to overturn the large jury verdict.
