Reeves V. Meridian Southern Summary
In the case of Reeves vs Meridian Southern, it was alleged that Meridian Southern placed railcars on spurs without permission. Meridian had used this spur for years and years without incident till this case. Meridian Southern should have been informed by Reeves about the change of ownership. Trespassers are ones who enter another’s land unlawfully without consent or the privilege to be there. By this definition, Meridian Southern is trespassing Reeve’s land. This could have all been avoided if Meridian Southern would have asked for permission to use the spur. Even if they had to pay for the use of it.

    George V Montgomery Clark Case Summary

    One of the ways to toll the statute of limitations for legal malpractice actions is that the attorney(s) against whom the claim(s) is alleged serve as counsel for the plaintiff on the same subject matter within which the wrongful act or omission occurred. This would seem to require privity between plaintiff and the attorney(s). However, this is not the case when it comes to trustees who are represented in their capacity as fiduciaries.…

    Devis V. Davis Case Summary

    In the Supreme Court ruling of Davis v. Davis, Justice Daughtrey created an epoche of the law when she, unlike previous judges, based her decision on the recognition of a new category more relevant to the case rather than relying on one previously established. She casts aside conventional thoughts and residual knowledge by declaring the case to present a "question of first impression" which will require the court to act through common law. Although Justice Daughtrey relates other statutes, cases, and constitutions to the case, she refuses to follow any precedent established by similar situations.…

    Clark V. Gore's Conviction: The Clark Case

    At the time of Dena Lynn Gore’s murder, Clark was out on bond awaiting appeal for a previous conviction. Clark was also facing charges for the abduction and rape of a six-year-old girl, however, sentencing had been postponed until after the trial for Gore’s murder. In his appeal, Clark stated that the courts erred in not sentencing him for his previous conviction prior to trying him on capital felony charges. Clark argues that the sentence he would have received for the first offense would have been a mitigating factor for the jury when tasked with determining Clark’s punishment. Had the jury been made aware that the cumulative sentencing for all convictions would have been enough to keep him imprisoned for life and with no possibility of…

    District Of Columbia V. Heller Case Analysis

    I personally believe that the meaning of a “well-regulated militia” is when citizens are properly following the laws and abide the rules of bearing arms. Militia can be defined as, “An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers” according to Gary the Gun Nut’s post on Thomhartmann.com. In the District of Columbia v. Heller case, gun control was the purpose problem. The case resulted in protecting the “Second Amendment of an individual's right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home,...” in which was a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court.…

    Case Brief State V Kelbel JS 143

    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.…
