Once the verdict has been rendered, Virile's attorney can only file a motion for a new trial. This allows for a second trial to take place with new evidence and/or arguments that were not presented in the first trial. They cannot file for judgment on the pleadings, summary judgment, or to dismiss the case since the jury has already rendered a verdict.
