The opinion

Cockrell, J.,

dissenting.

The only assignment of error which the majority opinion sustains is based upon the refusal of the court to admit evidence in response to a question admittedly improper'. In this I cannot concur. The relevance of the testimony is not so obvious, nor does the record as a whole, in my opinion, make such a case as to justify this court in overruling the well established rule that a proper question must first be asked before the party is entitled to elicit evidence in response thereto.

This is a copy of a public record, reproduced as it was published. It is not legal advice, and it may not be the version a court would rely on. Check the official source before you cite it.
