Prescott brought a personal injury action against Demetrius,…
Prescott brought a personal injury action against Demetrius, the owner of a small fishing resort, for injuries he suffered when a dockside chair he was sitting on collapsed. At trial, Prescott testified that he had reported to Demetrius the previous day that one of the chairs had a loose leg, whereupon Demetrius tightened the screws holding the leg to the chair body, but that the next day the repaired leg of the chair collapsed while Prescott was fishing from it, injuring him. Prescott now wishes to offer evidence showing that Demetrius had attached a new chair leg after the accident.Should Demetrius’s objection to that evidence be sustained?
