Supreme Court of Vermont

1Opinion of the CourtGibson, J.

Plaintiffs Bonnie Harris and Ferris O’Connell appeal from a verdict in defendants’ favor following a jury trial on plaintiffs’ claims of civil trespass, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. Plaintiffs contend that the superior court erred in denying their motions for directed verdict and judgment notwithstanding the verdict, 1 and that the superior court should have provided a separate jury instruction on invasion of privacy. We affirm.
