California Court of Appeal September 19, 2000, B128058 (Cruz v. Homebase)

*163

Opinion

NEAL, J.

Summary

Where a jury hearing a store patron’s claims for battery, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution found for the patron on the battery claim, but hung on the others, it was proper thereafter to try only the false imprisonment and malicious prosecution claims to a second jury, with appropriate admonitions about the prior battery verdict.
