605 Words3 Pages

The second trial I attended was a personal injury civil jury trial with Judge Carrier. This was a rather interesting case of Jennifer Wolfe VS D & W LLC.

The story started out with everyone meeting at a house and the maid of honor was mad that the designated person to bring alcohol, forgot to bring the alcohol. The alcohol drank at this house was whatever was there, which was a few beers and a box of wine. From here, a rented limo picked everyone up and took them to the first bar, where they did not stay long. Witnesses recounts them each having a round of shots and maybe a pitcher of beer. Eventually, the party ended up at a local karaoke bar called Bugsy Malone’s. When the party arrives, Jennifer and her sister-in-law immediately go get drinks. Not long after getting the drinks, a man invites Jennifer to dance with him on a stage. While on the stage, she ends up falling off and breaking her ankle very badly.

The stage was not very big, but it was about 12 inches high which was larger than the normal step height. The plaintiff argues, and brought in witnesses, that described Jennifer having maybe two drinks and just misjudging the stage when she was getting off. They believe it is the defendants fault because they did not have the stage built to code. The defendant argues the plaintiff was slightly intoxication and lost her balance causing her to fall off the stage. They pointed out she had got up on the stage with no problem and how they did have not have any previous accidents with this

He proceeded to stop the men and pat them down (already violating the men's rights protected in the 4th amendment). Terry was one of the two men that was found with a concealed carry. The justices voted on the case 8-1 in the favor of the state of Ohio.
