SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria
On March 21, 2019, we issued our original opinion in this case suggesting remittiturs for appellees Jodi and Adam Hidinger. We explained that if both Jodi and Adam filed their remittitur within twenty days from the date of our original opinion, we would modify the trial court's judgment accordingly. We suggested a remittitur of the trial court's award of $100,000 in future pecuniary damages to each of Jodi and Adam. Both appellees have timely accepted the suggested remittiturs. Subsequently, pursuant to this Court's order, the parties have submitted an agreed statement, without prejudice to Joel Lawhorn's further appellate rights, regarding the amount of the modified judgment taking into account the accepted remittiturs as well as prejudgment interest.
We therefore issue this supplemental opinion. In accordance with the original opinion, appellees' timely-filed remittiturs, and the parties' agreed statement, we modify the trial court's judgment to reflect Jodi and Adam's total recovery of all damages to be $4,252,516.50. This amount includes prejudgment interest. We affirm the trial court's judgment as modified. Our original opinion remains otherwise in effect.
NORA L. LONGORIA
Justice Delivered and filed the 18th day of April, 2019.
