Samarkos v. Goddard
Thomas E. Goddard appeals the judgment entered on a jury verdict awarding Andrea Samarkos compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries she sustained when Goddard, while drunk, drove his vehicle into the rear end of Samarkos's stopped vehicle. Goddard attacks the judgment on grounds of erroneous evidentiary rulings, instructional errors, and misconduct by Samarkos's trial counsel. We conclude two of the challenged evidentiary rulings were prejudicially erroneous and therefore reverse the judgment.
