reduction by $20,000.00 and $8,000.00 respectively, or a total of $42,000.00; 3. error in overruling defendant's objection
to plaintiff's closing argument which was designed to arouse bias and Prejudice against the defendant; and 4. precluding evidence
to show precautions defendant took to make the exit ramp safe.
