Total Computer Solutions in federal court in Decatur, Alabama.  The  Plaintiff claimed the Defendant owed substantial commission payments allegedly earned during employment that, per an employment agreement, were to be paid for 24 months after employment unless he resigned.  During closing arguments, Plaintiff’s counsel asked for more than $200,000 in damages.  After deliberating for less than an hour, the jury of eight unanimously determined that the Defendant had not failed to pay any commissions due nor had it breached the employment agreement.
