James T. Crues v. Kfc Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided July 16, 1985No. 84-2317PublishedCited by 93 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge.
James T. Crues appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict for KFC Corporation on his fraud claim. He argues that the magistrate 1 improperly instructed the jury, primarily in that two converse instructions were given in violation of Missouri procedural law. We affirm.
This is the second time this case has been appealed. Crues obtained a verdict against KFC in the first trial and we reversed because of substantive instruction errors and the failure to submit the issue of punitive damages. Crues v. KFC Corp., 729 F.2d 1145 (8th Cir.1984).
