DETAILS
A Queens jury sided with Jovic in 2015 and Blue said the verdict put her on a verge of a breakdown. The trial judge threw out the verdict, and the landlord appealed.
But last week, three appellate judges ruled the trial judge was right to toss the jury decision.
It was “like a mountain was lifted off me,” Blue, 49, told the Daily News on Friday. “It felt like validation, you know. Somebody heard me.”
