However, further testimony confirmed that the video cameras were no longer monitored. In fact, when this rape occurred on December 5, 2013, Scott is seen climbing a fence on a security video and that he was in the parking lot for around 15 minutes before he entered into the plaintiff’s apartment.

The lawsuit asserted that had more security officers been present, the rape may have been avoided. Traywick’s testimony supports that assertion. The jury, as stated so well by Mr. Durham, believed that this rape could have been prevented, held the housing LLC 40% responsible, the rapist 40% responsible, and the Board of Regents 20% responsible. While the money certainly doesn’t undo the pain suffered by the victim, Mr. Durham stated that his client was proud to have her day in court.

Turner & Savage is no stranger to large verdicts.  Founding Partner Brent Savage, originally from Philadelphia, had previously won a $150 million verdict in Georgia and has been named as one of the state's "Legal Elite."  With the acquisition of former Federal Prosecutor Jim Durham to the trial team, it's safe to say that we should expect to see more landmark cases from this group of trial attorneys.
