State v. Sipes
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided October 23, 2007 · Holliger, Lowenstein, Smart
236 S.W.3d 121; 2007 Mo. App. LEXIS 1469; 2007 WL 3070791 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Sipes

Opinion

ORDER

Steven Turner (“Turner”) appeals a judgment in favor of the defendant in his suit for damages resulting from a three-car rear-end collision. Turner claims that the jury’s verdict in favor of the defendant was against the weight of the evidence, and that the trial court abused its discretion in denying a motion for new trial on that basis. Because evidentiary support is not a prerequisite to a general defense verdict, we affirm pursuant to Rule 84.16(b). A published formal opinion would have no precedential value, and the parties have been provided with a memorandum explaining the reasoning of the court.
