Throughout September 1996, Stafford, Green and Doe became involved in a dispute over the scope of work to be provided and the amount of money Stafford had agreed to pay for the services, according to the lawsuit. On Oct. 16, while Stafford was out of town, Green and Doe came to her Saugus home on North Ron Ridge Drive and dug up the plants and shrubs they had planted just two months earlier, the lawsuit said.

Instead, the jury found the men acted negligently and breached their contract when they removed property that rightfully belonged to Stafford. Green was ordered to pay $9,500 and Doe was ordered to pay $14,178, for a total of $23,678. The same jury also found that Stafford owed Green $4,177. The dual judgment has not yet been officially approved by Judge Randy Rhodes. Though the jury award will not cover all of her losses, Stafford said she views the award as a moral victory. ``I'm still losing money, but it's an issue of standing up for what's right,'' she said. |
