Culpepper v. Lloyds America

NORVELL, Justice.

This is a Workmen’s Compensation case, brought by appellant, Culpepper, against appellee, Lloyds America, as an appeal from the award of the Industrial Accident Board.

The case was tried to a jury and from an adverse judgment rendered upon the jury’s verdict Culpepper has appealed to this Court.

Appellant presents the contention that this case must be reversed because of the action of appellee’s counsel in attempting to develop the fact that Culpepper was convicted of a felony which did not involve moral turpitude, by means of cross-examination in the presence of the jury.
