Potter v. Shrackle and The Shrackle Construction Company: Case File, Trial Materials (8th Edition) – PDF

A split second of distraction can have devastating consequences, as demonstrated in the case of Katherine Potter. Katherine was tragically killed when struck by a truck driven by Charles Shrackle while crossing a street in Nita City. Katherine’s estate is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Shrackle, alleging he failed to yield the right of way as she walked through a designated crosswalk. Shrackle counters that Mrs. Potter unexpectedly walked out from the center median, far from the crosswalk. The different accounts of the incident are supported by conflicting witness testimonies.

This classic legal case, Potter v. Shrackle and The Shrackle Construction Company, 8th Edition provides a valuable learning tool for understanding fundamental trial courtroom procedures. Although updated to include modern elements like social media evidence and text messages, the core questions remain relevant. Did Katherine Potter legally cross the street within a marked crosswalk? Was the accident caused by distracted driving? Furthermore, the case raises questions about the involvement of Jeffrey Potter, Katherine’s husband, in an extramarital affair at the time of his wife’s death.

The trial features six witnesses testifying on behalf of the plaintiff and four witnesses supporting the defendant’s version of events.
