Wiggins v. Bodner
Wiggins v. Bodner
Opinion of the Court
Bodner brought this suit against Wiggins, a tow truck operator employed by the District of Columbia, charging the front end of his automobile had been damaged while being towed away from a restricted parking zone. The trial court found for Bodner and Wiggins has appealed.
The contention is that the evidence was insufficient to support a finding that plaintiff’s automobile was damaged while in defendant’s custody. Defendant testified that he was using a “new sling” for the first time, and that the car could not have been damaged during the towing because of “rubber contacts” between the towing mechanism and the automobile. But plain
In announcing his finding the judge said he was deciding the case “on the credibility of the witnesses.” We cannot say that he ruled incorrectly on the facts or drew improper inferences from the facts.
Affirmed.
