## Opinion text

CROCKETT, Chief Justice
(dissenting).
I concur in the dissent of Justice Tuckett, adding: I take a somewhat different view of the facts, and of the law as it should be applied thereto, than as set forth in the main opinion. To avoid repetition I refer to my views on the importance of respecting the right of trial by jury where a wise, experienced and judicious trial judge, from his advantaged position, has believed that the evidence warranted the submission of the issues to the jury, and a jury has found its verdict, as set forth in my dissent in Roylance v. Davies, 18 Utah 2d 395 , 424 P.2d 142 .
