Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
Terence Marks, Respondent, v. City of St. Louis, Appellant.
Terence Marks sued the City of St. Louis for negligence after a motor vehicle accident with a City garbage truck. A jury found in favor of Marks, assessing 90% fault to the City and 10% to Marks, and the trial court entered judgment accordingly. The City appealed, challenging the admission of expert testimony, a statement during closing argument, the denial of a mistrial, and the refusal of a jury instruction. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no abuse of discretion or prejudicial error.
