Overview of Guam Motion for NOV or New Trial: A Guam Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, or in the Alternative, for a New Trial is a legal recourse that parties can pursue when prejudicial statements have been made during a trial. This motion allows the court to assess whether the statements made have significantly impacted the fairness and outcome of the trial. There are different types of such motions available, each addressing specific aspects of the prejudicial statements. 2. Motions for NOV — Prejudicial Statements: When prejudicial statements arise during a trial, a Guam Motion for NOV can be filed. This motion provides a mechanism for the court to overturn the jury's verdict if it is apparent that the prejudicial statements had a substantial impact on the outcome. The court will conduct a review of the record and determine if the jury's decision was reached based on the merits of the case or if external influences, such as the prejudicial statements, played a significant role. If the court finds that the statements unduly influenced the verdict, it may grant a NOV and overturn the jury's decision. 3. Motions for New Trial — Prejudicial Statements: Alternatively, a Guam Motion for a New Trial can be pursued when prejudicial statements have been made at trial. This motion seeks to set aside the jury's verdict and request a new trial, predominantly due to the prejudicial statements' potential impact on the fairness of the proceedings. It provides an opportunity for the parties to present additional evidence or arguments that were not sufficiently addressed in the initial trial. The court will thoroughly review the prejudicial nature of the statements and evaluate their effect on the jury's decision before ruling on the motion. 4. Different Types of Motions for NOV or New Trial — Prejudicial Statements: a) Motion for NOV — Evidentiary Prejudice: This motion focuses specifically on prejudicial statements that were admitted as evidence during the trial. It seeks to challenge the ruling allowing the admission of such statements and their ultimate impact on the case's outcome. b) Motion for NOV — Jury Instruction Prejudice: In situations where the jury is given specific instructions that contain prejudicial statements, this motion can be filed. It aims to demonstrate that the given instructions influenced the jury's decision and that a NOV is warranted due to this jury instruction prejudice. c) Motion for New Trial — Misconduct Prejudice: A Motion for New Trial based on misconduct prejudice focuses on instances where opposing counsel or a witness engaged in prejudicial misconduct during the trial. This motion argues that the misconduct's influence on the jury's decision warrants a new trial. In conclusion, when prejudicial statements arise during a trial in Guam, parties can file a Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict or, in the Alternative, for a New Trial. These motions allow the court to review the impact of the statements on the trial's fairness and decide whether to overturn the jury's verdict or order a new trial. The specific types of motions depend on the nature of the prejudicial statements, such as evidentiary prejudice, jury instruction prejudice, or misconduct prejudice.
