10:30 a.m. 49S04-1212-CT-667. The Marion Superior Court entered judgment on a jury verdict in this negligence case, in which the jury allocated fault (1% to the murdered motel guest, 2% to the motel owner, and 97% to the killer) and assessed 2% of total damages against the motel owner. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for a new trial on fault allocation after it concluded that the trial court erred by not instructing the jury on the motel owner’s liability under the “very duty doctrine.” Santelli v. Rahmatullah, 966 N.E.2d 661 (Ind. Ct. App. 2012), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.
Never heard of remand to another state. How often does that happen?
I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
