View this case - free  

Overview: Claimant was properly denied worker's compensation benefits for injuries he sustained in a traffic accident as the Board did not err in admitting a digital video of the accident because the fact that claimant did not appear in the video did not make it irrelevant and such was admitted to show that a compensable industrial accident did not occur.

P. 6(a)(i), and because the individual's failure was not attributable to the trial court, the appeal was dismissed pursuant to Del. Sup. Ct. R. 6, 29(b).

View this case - free  

Overview: As the remedy under 42 U.S.C.S. § 1983 was not altered by a 1991 amendment to 42 U.S.C.S. § 1981, an employee's failure to file her amended complaint within the applicable two-year statute of limitations warranted dismissal. Further, her amended superior court complaint did not relate back to her prior federal court complaint.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was sentenced to life in prison rather than the death penalty for his murder convictions; although aggravating circumstances outweighed the mitigating circumstances, it would have been inequitable and unjust to impose the death penalty when the same sentence was constitutionally prohibited for defendant's seventeen-year-old co-defendant.
