Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
I concur in the affirmance of the judgment. While I am of the opinion that this Court could address the constitutional claims regarding the excessiveness of the verdict, even though presented here for the first time, and so stated my views in a dissenting opinion in Alabama Power Co. v. Cantrell , 507 So.2d 1295 (Ala. 1986), I would still affirm this particular judgment, because I do not believe it is "excessive." Consequently, I concur in the result reached in this case.
