Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
Daniel Brothers, Appellant, v. Edward James Becker, Respondent.
Daniel Brothers sued Edward Becker for personal injuries and property damage after Brothers' vehicle struck Becker's cows on a public roadway, alleging liability under Missouri's Stock Law. The jury found in favor of Becker, and Brothers appealed, challenging the sufficiency of evidence for Becker's affirmative defense, the admission of testimony regarding the cows' prior escape history, and the exclusion of his expert's testimony and photographs concerning the fence's condition. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding sufficient evidence for Becker's defense and concluding that any evidentiary errors were not prejudicial.
