Docket entry

950105 Godbolt v. Brawley 11/03/1995 Under the circumstances of this case the evidence of the plaintiff's assault conviction is inadmissible in this civil action for assault arising out of the same incident and the trial court erred in ruling that the conviction barred the plaintiff's action against the defendants; therefore the judgment of the trial court is reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
