ZINC: ZINC: DQ19 (Liesners) Liesners must have argued: L-Boys did mortally wound wolf L-Boys did continue pursuit BEST EVIDENCE SUPPORTING?
DQ20: Trial Judge’s Perspective He must believe: –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 probably had experience with guns & hunting –Judge could see pelt & holes
Why No Ratione Soli? Apparently not claimed Maybe: Lawyer’s Mistake or Owner Unaware Maybe: Unowned or unclaimed land or custom to allow hunt Maybe 1st Liesner shot on Liesner land & death on Wanie land
PHOSPHORUS: PHOSPHORUS: DQ21 What relevance do the additional facts found in the trial record have for how you should read the appellate opinion?
