Pogge v. Am. Family Mut. Ins. Co., No. S-05-714., SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA, November 9, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 27-408, court erred in finding insureds' settlement with driver established his negligence, and as settlement was for less than driver's policy limit, that precluded coverage under insureds' underinsured motorist policy; there was no evidence of other driver's negligence, and insureds did not have to exhaust his coverage.

Stat. § 42-349 to have had actual residence in Nebraska with a bona fide intention of making the state her permanent home for at least one year prior to filing for divorce.

State v. Marrs, No. S-06-067., SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA, November 9, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although Neb. Rev. Stat. § 29-2204 permitted the sentencing judge imposing a maximum term of life imprisonment for a Class IB felony to impose a minimum term of years not less than the statutory mandatory minimum, it did not require the judge to do so. Accordingly, murder defendant's argument that his life sentence was impermissible was rejected.

State v. Tompkins, No. S-05-212., SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA, November 9, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the State waived the Leon good faith exception to an invalid search warrant by failing to raise it, the Nebraska Court of Appeals erred in raising the issue on its own motion; defendant received no notice that he would have to confront the exception, which deprived him of the opportunity to argue why the good faith exception did not apply.
