State v. Powih

State v. Yanez
| CA2016-10-190 | The trial court properly entered the jury's guilty verdict for felonious assault where appellant did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he stabbed the victim in self-defense because the victim testified that appellant stabbed him while trying to steal his wallet.

Young v. Eagle
| CA2016-09-063 | A child injured on tricycle assumed the risks inherent in tricycle riding and therefore could not establish tricycle owner's liability unless she could prove that the owner acted recklessly or intentionally towards her. The court refused to apply the attractive nuisance doctrine because the child was not a trespasser. However, the result would not have changed if the court had applied the doctrine because the child was entitled to the same standard of care regardless of her status as a trespasser or invitee. | M.

Sterling Constr., Inc. v. Alkire
| CA2016-12-032 | The trial court's decision finding appellee had not violated the consumer sales protection act regarding claims requiring authorization from a consumer to expenses exceeding ten percent of the original estimate was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where appellant had not requested an original estimate, thereby making any violation of that claim impossible. In addition, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellant's request for attorney fees where the record indicated he suffered no actual economic damages resulting from appellee's violation of the consumer sales practices act and where appellant received a windfall based on the work that appellee completed on his house. | S. Powell | Madison |
