Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This was an action by the parents of a nine-year-old boy to
recover damages for his wrongful death. The district court
sustained the defendant's demurrer to the plaintiffs' evidence in
support of allegations based on the last clear chance doctrine,
and on the theory of the defendant's gross and wanton negligence.
The issue of the defendant's negligence was submitted to the jury
which returned its verdict in his favor. The plaintiffs here
frankly concede that, based on the evidence and instructions as
submitted to the jury, it was justified in finding for the
defendant. The specifications of error are based entirely upon alleged
erroneous rulings by the district court upon objections to
plaintiffs' evidence, and to instructions requested by plaintiffs
and refused by the court.
