Bill Steber Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. v. Morgan

This is an appeal from a $15,000 judgment entered on a jury verdict. Morgan worked for Bill Steber Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. (hereinafter Steber), for several years. His suit charged breach of an employment contract by which he claimed Steber had promised to pay him $1,000 per month, plus 2% of total monthly gross sales and 5% of total year-end fixed gross profits. The complaint also charged fraud. Steber denied any agreement to make year-end payments.

On appeal, Steber argues that the trial court erred in not allowing it to show on cross examination that Morgan read "get rich quick"…
