Description
This is an eminent domain proceeding brought by the State to acquire 1.98 acres of land from the defendant, Livingston Limestone Company, a corporation, leaving 54.02 acres of the original tract remaining. The trial court approved a jury verdict awarding $7,000.00 as the value of the 1.98 acres taken and an additional $10,000.00 for incidental damages to the remaining 54.02 acres. The State appealed to the Court of Appeals which reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the case for a new trial, holding that it was error for the trial court to admit the testimony of Mr. Jim Coleman, the General Superintendent and Secretary-Treasurer of the defendant corporation, wherein he stated his opinion of the value of the property taken and the incidental damages to the remaining 54.02 acres. This Court granted certiorari to consider certain questions of evidence presented.
