Docket entry
991880 Rice v. Charles 06/09/2000 In a wrongful death action, the circuit court did not err in striking a contributory negligence defense because defendant's testimony was not corroborated as required by Code § 8.01-397, but did err in denying a motion for new trial on the issue of damages because the jury verdict was only for the exact amount of the decedent's funeral expenses. The judgment is reversed in part and affirmed in part, and the case remanded.
