Bank depositions and wife signed waiver dispute core case
The Bysons faced a legal dispute over a $50,000 bank deposit made payable to both John and Carrie Byson.

Judge Davidson ruled Mr Byson a party to the action, requiring joint trial. The case, tied to wider deposit issues in the region, was postponed to a future term.
