Docket entry
102176 Wakole v. Barber 03/02/2012 In a personal injury case, the circuit court did not err in allowing counsel for plaintiff to argue in closing that each item of damage was separate and had a fixed numerical value based on a formula provided by the circuit court, or in permitting her counsel to enumerate each item of damages to the jury during closing argument. As presented, the argument made for specific amounts for various types of damages did not invade the province of the jury, nor did it violate Code § 8.01-379.1.
