Samuel Toole v. State Florida

The personal representative of Levi Riggins appeals a final judgment rendered upon a defense verdict. Mr. Riggins, a pedestrian, was struck and killed by an automobile owned by Mariner Boat Works and operated by Mrs. Mullen. The accident occurred in Naples, Florida, on December 17, 1984, in or near a crosswalk at an intersection controlled by a traffic light. One issue raised by the personal representative requires a reversal of the final judgment and a new trial on all issues. The second issue also involves error. In light of our ruling on the first issue, we do not need to determine the harmfulness of the second error.
