BOONE v. WAL-MART STORES, INC.

No. 93-CA-00663-SCT.

680 So.2d 844 (1996)

Trenette BOONE and Johnny Staten v. WAL-MART STORES, INC.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

September 12, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Laurel G. Weir, Thomas L. Booker, Jr., Philadelphia, for Appellants.

Edley H. Jones, III, Kirkland & Barfield, Jackson, for Appellee.

Before SULLIVAN, P.J., and McRAE and MILLS, JJ.

MILLS, Justice, for the Court:

Trenette Boone and Johnny Staten appeal from an adverse jury verdict finding Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., not liable for defamation arising out of a charge of shoplifting. Since two jury instructions erroneously state the law, we reverse and remand for further proceedings. We find it unnecessary to address other issues on appeal.1
