Gray v. Grayson

NOBLE, Justice.

Elbert Grayson has appealed from an adverse judgment awarding damages to Aaron Leo Gray, Jr. on account of injuries resulting from an automobile accident.

Grayson, the defendant below, was charged, tried and convicted in the municipal court of careless driving in connection with the same circumstances out of which this tort action arose. He appealed to the district court where he was again convicted after a plea of not guilty and a trial de novo. Proof of those convictions was admitted in evidence in the trial of this action and is now urged as error.

We are committed to the rule…
