An appellate court may substitute its own judgment for the jury’s factual determinations when it believes the jury’s findings are incorrect.
False
True
This statement is false. Appellate courts do not substitute their own judgment for the jury’s factual determinations simply because they disagree with the findings. Instead, they give significant deference to the jury’s role in determining facts. Appellate courts will overturn a jury’s findings only if no reasonable jury could have reached the same conclusion based on the evidence presented. This standard ensures that the jury retains its primary role as fact-finder. In contrast, legal issues are reviewed de novo, where the appellate court exercises its own judgment without deference to the trial court or jury.
