Landry v. Two R. Drilling Co.

GEE, Circuit Judge

(concurring):

Believing our opinion to be as mandated by the Supreme Court’s precedents on sufficiency of evidence in FELA and Jones Act matters 1 and in all other respects correct, I concur. However we may view these holdings,2 we must apply them.

. See Gibson v. Elgin, J & E Ry., 246 F.2d 834, 837 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 355 U.S. 897, 78 S.Ct. 270, 2 L.Ed.2d 193 (1957) (“Under the recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court in F.E.L.A. cases, speculation, conjecture and possibilities suffice to support a jury verdict.”)
