Evansville School Corp. v. Price

Alfred Price (plaintiff) sued Evansville School Corporation (defendant) for the wrongful death of his son, who was struck in the head by a baseball at a school game and died. The school conceded that the injury caused the death, so the cause of death was not disputed. Over the school's objection, Price introduced a photograph of his son lying in his coffin, arguing it supported his testimony that the boy had been healthy before the injury and was properly buried. The jury returned a verdict for Price, and the school appealed the admission of the photograph.
