Burden of truth in contributory negligence ruling
The appellate court discusses the burden of truth versus burden of evidence in a tort case. It states that a plaintiff who proves negligence warranting recovery shifts the burden to the defendant to prove contributory negligence from facts not in the plaintiff’s evidence. The dictum clarifies that the burden of proof remains on the party asserting a fact in defense.
