Description
This appeal arises from a diversity action brought by the plaintiff-appellant, Annette Rush, following her nine-year-old sons fall from a railcar owned and operated by the defendant-appellee, Illinois Central Railroad Company ("CN-IC"). The plaintiff-appellant challenges the district courts denial of her motion for new trial following a jury verdict awarded in favor of CN-IC. She advances four arguments on appeal: (1) the district court erroneously admitted into evidence at trial the prior statements of two witnesses and audio recordings of those statements; (2) the jury erred in not finding CN-IC liable under Tennessees "Lookout Statute"; (3) the jury disregarded the trial courts instruction to presume the nine-years-old child incapable of negligence as required under Tennessee law; and (4) the district court erred in denying the motion for new trial because the verdict was against the clear weight of the evidence.
