Ohio Inspectors Liable in Electrocution Death at County Fair

A judge has determined (a mere two years after the trial) that the state amusement ride inspectors in Ohio were negligent and are liable for the death of young Greyson Yoe, who was electrocuted while standing in line for bumper cars at the Lake County Fair.  A second phase of the trial will determine damages.

I’ve written a fair amount about the case, including a Capital University Law Review article in 2006.  A collection of posts about it, including a link to a draft version of that article, is available here.
