Cullison v. Medley

When the Medley family (defendants) confronted Cullison (plaintiff) in his trailer over his contact with their teenage daughter, the father repeatedly reached for and shook a holstered revolver while threatening to jump on Cullison, and the mother kept her hand in her pocket suggesting she too was armed, causing Cullison severe emotional and psychological harm; the trial court granted the Medleys summary judgment, and the court of appeals affirmed, reasoning the Medleys showed no present intent to hurt Cullison and that his purely emotional injuries weren't compensable.
