As CVN wrote, this was \u201d the first case to go to trial anywhere in the country\u201d over the Jeeps\u2019 deadly gas tank design.Jeb Butler of Butler Kahn tried the case alongside his father, Jim Butler of Butler, Wooten, Cheeley &amp; Peak. We thank our brave clients for having the courage to push this wrongful death\u00a0case to trial against Chrysler\u2019s vast team of lawyers, and we thank CVN (Courtroom View Network) for its excellent coverage, which helped to spread the word about the dangers of these Jeeps.For lawyers or others interested in watching the\u00a0Walden v. Chrysler\u00a0trial or others like it, the subscription page for CVN is\u00a0here."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Number ONE Verdict of 2015","item":"https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/blog\/number-one-verdict-of-2015\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
