OPINION

ROBINSON, Justice.

Introduction

This case involves a dispute between two siblings with respect to their mother’s will. The dispute eventually was submitted to a jury for decision. The jury decided that the position of the plaintiff, who had challenged the will, was the more convincing; it determined that the mother had lacked testamentary capacity when she executed the will in question. We perceive no error that would require us to reverse the judgment entered on the jury’s verdict. Therefore, we affirm.
