Court Case Summary Of Tyler's Bar
Even though it was the first time the dog had entered the end zone to retrieve the ball, Tyler’s Bar is still liable for injuries sustained to Mr. Roseman. We can reference Wade V. American Nat. Ins. Co. and the “first bite rule” to explain this situation. Even if it was the dog’s first instant, the owner is still liable if evidence can be shown that he had prior knowledge to his canine’s inclination to commit the act that caused injury. Robert’s, the owner of the dog that caused injury to Mr. Roseman at Tyler’s Bar, clearly held prior knowledge of his dog’s natural tendencies. The owner had not only paid the breeder to train the German shepherd to catch or retrieve footballs, but also had visually watched and profited from Chip catching the

    On February 9th, 2002, Jodie Scheier slipped and fell in Jersey Joe’s Sports Bar & Grill after leaving her seat at a booth upon being called to collect a door prize. Jodie claimed that there were two steps awkwardly positioned that led to the booth, which caused her fall and the subsequent injury of her right index finger. As a hairstylist, Jodie relies on the use of her hands and fingers, and was unable to work properly because of the injury. Jodie did not mention her fall to anyone working in the restaurant, and continued to order three more drinks after her slip. No one in the restaurant found out about the slip until “several weeks later” when it was mentioned to the manager by a third party. Many other patrons had stumbled on, but not fallen because of, the two steps that led up to the booths in the sports bar. A splint was placed on Ms. Scheier’s finger for approximately 6 weeks, and she returned to work as a hairdresser after 10 weeks. Upon returning to work, Ms. Scheier found it quite difficult to carry out routine tasks, and gave up her job after 4 months.…

    Facts: Kyle John Kelbel was convicted of first-degree murder, past pattern of child abuse, in violation of Minnesota state statute section 609.185(5) and second-degree murder, in violation of Minnesota statute 609.19, subdivision 2(1). He was sentenced to life in prison for the death of Kailyn Marie Montgomery. Kelbel appealed, and argued that the district court failed to instruct the jury that it must find that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the acts that constituted the past pattern of child abuse and he also argued that the evidence against him was insufficient to prove past pattern of child abuse against Kailyn. Kelbel testified that the head injury of Kailyn was inflicted by a cup thrown at her head by step brother Evan. Kelbel also testified that other injuries found on Kailyn were caused by Evan and that he is "rough" with her. Medical examiners ran an autopsy on Kailyn's body and determined that the injuries had been caused by blunt trauma and force caused by a knee or fist. Medical examiners testified that the injuries caused could not have been caused by a cup thrown at her head or by an accidental fall down the stairs. Kailyn's mother, Lindsey, also testified that Kailyn had previous injuries that she became concerned with. Upon retrieving a search warrant, police entered Lindsey's home to find further evidence. Police found a dent in the wall near Kailyn's bed. After Kelbel was eventually found guilty of the charges brought, Kelbel filed a motion for a judgement of aquittal and for a new trial on the grounds that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. The district court denied the motion.…

    Barber v. Superior Court deals with two Doctors who removed life support from a man who was in a vegetative state with very little chance of surviving the ordeal. The main question is if the two petitioners legally speaking actually killed the man when they took off his life support. By definition, murdering is “the unlawful killing of a human being, with malice aforethought.” California Law states that Euthanasia is “neither justifiable nor excusable in California.” Euthanasia by definition is “The act or practice of killing someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering” (Merriam-Webster). The question that matters is whether the Doctor’s removal of life support counts as committing an act in accordance with the definitions and laws stated above.…
