State v. Bouras

Indiana Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

CHIPMAN, Judge.

Theodora Gianakis was killed in an automobile accident on Indiana 47 near Craw-fordsville, Indiana. The administrator of her estate, Elias Bouras, sued the State of Indiana for her wrongful death, alleging negligent design, construction and mainte nance of the highway, and recovered $300,-000. This appeal by the defendant alleges error in the Shelby Superior Court jury trial. At issue is the court’s refusal to give certain jury instructions, the admission of testimony, the size of the verdict and the sufficiency of the evidence. We affirm.
