  14. Liesner Trial Transcript Note Anderson testimony (p.17): “REPLEVIED” Suggests replevin was cause of action. (= Common law action for return of personal property)

  15. LiesnerTrial Transcript: DQ1.19: Best Evidence for Each Side (Krypton) Liesners’ Attys must have argued: • L-Boys did mortally wound wolf • L-Boys did continue pursuit (Uranium) Wanie’sAttys must have argued: • Uncertainthat L-Boys mortally wounded wolf • L-Boys did not continue pursuit TO WHITEBOARD

  16. Liesner Trial Transcript: DQ1.20Trial Judge’s Perspective • To make this decision, Judge must believe: • Abdomen shot was mortal wound (“gut shot”; wolf’s behavior) • Only shot that could have made that wound was Ed Liesner shot (bullet/angle) Questions/Concerns?

  17. Liesner Trial DQ1.20: Trial Judge’s Perspective • Trial Judge must have believed: • Abdomen shot was mortal wound (“gut shot”; wolf’s behavior) • Only evidence of shot that could have made that wound was Liesner shot (bullet/angle) • Keep in Mind • Judge might have experience with guns/hunting • Judge could see pelt & holes • Not every factual dispute is material to outcome. • Whether there was “manure” in abdominal cavity • Whether Wanie tried to hide bullet hole

  18. Liesner Trial Transcript: DQ1.21 Uranium Why Bother? Why do you think the Liesner family chose to bring this lawsuit?

  19. Liesner Trial: DQ1.21 Uranium LiesnerFamily Motivations? Ideas include: • Father Acting as Good Parent; Maybe Related to Either: • Shooting = important coming-of-age moment for boys (1st wolf seen/killed) • Father protecting boys against perceived bully/cheater • Maybe reflective of larger social/economic split in community

  20. Liesner Trial Transcript: DQ1.21 Uranium Why Bother? Why do you think Wanie expended the resources needed to take the case to the state Supreme Court?

  21. Liesner Trial: DQ1.21 Uranium Wanie Motivations? Ideas include: • Defending Liesner father’s challenge to his integrity (manure/patch) • Again, maybe reflective of larger split in community • Interest as regular hunter in clarifying rules/fixing bad result (although concedes prevailing rule)

  22. Liesner Trial: DQ1.22 Relevance of additional facts found in trial record to how you should read/use the appellate opinion? • Helps you to understand what happened BUTnormally unavailable to lawyers. • Meaning of written opinion: • Determined by what WiscSCtchooses to include • What doesn’t go into opinion isn’t part of opinion (cf. Las Vegas)

  23. Back to OXYGEN for DQ1.18 &Liesner“Prevailing Rule”NOTE: Thursday we’ll do Intro to Shaw Brief (OXYGEN) before DQs 1.23-1.25 (RADIUM)Fortunately, O2 on Thursday!!

  24. Liesner DQ1.18: Oxygen “Prevailing rule” (Three Formulations): • (1) substantially permanently deprive [animal] of liberty (SPDL) • (2) [have the animal] so in their power that escape improbable, if not impossible • (3) [bring the animal] under control so that actual possession practically inevitable

  25. Liesner DQ1.18(b): Oxygen • (1) substantiallypermanently deprive [animal] of liberty • (2) [have the animal] so in their power that escape improbable, if not impossible • (3) [bring the animal] under control so that actual possession practicallyinevitable All three formulations contain an imprecise word meaning something like “almost completely.”

  26. Liesner DQ1.18 (b): Oxygen COMPARE POSSIBLE RULES • Actual Possession Likely • Actual Possession Practically Inevitable • Actual Possession Inevitable Policies Supporting Choice of #2 v. #3?

  27. Liesner DQ1.18 (b): Oxygen • Actual Possession Practically Inevitable • Actual Possession Inevitable Policies Supporting Choice of #2 v. #3 Include • Too difficult to meet standard for #3 • Discourages hunters  fewer kills • Doesn’t reward most-of the-way labor • Impossible-to-meet standard may yield disrespect for law, self-help; violence (B2: Wisnoski: breakdown of peace and order as people like Liesners try to enforce perceived “rights.”)

  28. Liesner DQ1.18 (b): Oxygen COMPARE POSSIBLE RULES • Actual Possession Likely • Actual Possession Practically Inevitable • Actual Possession Inevitable Policies Supporting Choice of #2 v. #1?

  29. Liesner DQ1.18 (b): Oxygen • Actual Possession Likely • Actual Possession Practically Inevitable Policies Supporting Choice of #2 v. #1 Include • #1 = Too uncertain in application • Yields too many disputes/lawsuits (v. higher claim threshold for #2) • May reward ineffective/insufficient labor (too easy to meet)

  30. Liesner DQ1.18: Prevailing Rule (Oxygen) • (1) substantiallypermanently deprive [animal] of liberty • (2) [have the animal] so in their power that escape improbable, if not impossible • (3) [bring the animal] under control so that actual possession practicallyinevitable 1.18(a): Meaning of Key Language? 1.18(c): Application to Pierson Facts?
