BELLEVILLE — A man alleges Gateway Financial misrepresented his life insurance policy.

Randy J. Phillips filed a complaint on Dec. 9 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Paul S. Funkhouser and Gateway Financial Resources Inc., alleging they breached their duty to use reasonable care in the procurement of the plaintiff's insurance policy.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Jan. 15, 2009, he purchased a life insurance policy from the defendants with the understanding that there would be $1 million in benefits available upon his death. He claims the insurance policy would continue to have the same value of coverage as long as he lived in the event that the cash value ever reached zero. However, he alleges the defendant misrepresented the terms of the policy. Phillips alleges he instead got a policy that would be canceled if the cash value ever reached zero.

The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to procure the type of policy they represented to the plaintiff and accepted premiums for a policy that did not contain the terms they explained to the plaintiff.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendants in excess of $50,000 for the costs of procuring a policy equal to what they allegedly promised to him.

He is represented by Jon E. Rosenstengel of Bonifeld & Rosenstengel PC in Belleville.

Illinois lost 150,000 university students from 2000 to 2014

The U.S. Census Bureau recently revealed that Illinois, in its third consecutive year of population decline, is losing more people than any other state in the Midwest.

The state has also been unpopular with students since at least the start of the 21st century. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, Illinois likely lost more than 150,000 students, on net, to other states from 2000 to 2014. The data, which look at the migration of freshmen or first-time degree seeking students at all institutions each even-numbered year, show that Illinois lost an average of more than 10,000 students per year. Only New Jersey, which significantly lacks enough universities to accommodate all of its students, lost more than Illinois.

In addition, the New York Times reported that in 2014, 16,000 students left Illinois to attend public university in another state, while only 2,000 came to Illinois from out of state to attend public university. That means that for each public university student Illinois gained, it lost eight.

Illinois’ public universities have drastically redirected state funding away from students in recent years, choosing instead to spend the bulk of tax dollars on administrators and pensions. Thus, prioritization of state funding, rather than a lack thereof, is largely responsible for diminished investment in higher-education operating costs over the years. The state now spends more than 50 percent of its public universities’ budget for on higher-education retirement costs, up from 20 percent a decade ago.

This same spending conundrum faces all educational funding in Illinois. Investments in students and institutions come second to retirement payouts. State spending on higher-education operations is decreasing while funds are being radically shifted toward higher-education retirement costs. If retirement payments weren’t so out of control – in 2014, the highest-paid pension recipient received more than half a million dollars in annual retirement compensation – universities could perhaps afford to put more money into the classrooms.

Meanwhile, Illinois’ tuition rates have skyrocketed almost 100 percent over the past decade. University of Illinois’ in-state tuition is now almost $6,000 higher than both University of Indiana’s and University of Wisconsin’s, and $8,000 higher than University of Iowa’s. And reciprocity agreements allow Midwestern students to attend certain universities in participating states at in-state tuition rates. It’s no wonder students are leaving Illinois.

Students are no doubt contributing to Illinois’ out-migration woes, but this is not a new phenomenon the budget impasse created. Insufficient state funding is not an adequate explanation for Illinois’ student out-migration. The redistribution of higher-education funds over the past decade is also a major factor.

In order to bring students back to the Land of Lincoln, public universities need to make serious spending reforms, and Springfield must end the uncertainty by agreeing to a balanced budget.

Why a budget won't fix Illinois

Did you feel it?

As 2016 expired at midnight Dec. 31, so too did Illinois’ stopgap budget. That six-month spending plan pushed our state, already the least creditworthy in the nation, further into debt and decay.

But its end looked more like the Y2K bug than a fiscal cliff – nothing really happened. That’s because, even as Illinoisans constantly hear calls to “just pass a budget already,” Illinois already has something of a budget. And it’s not a good one.

It’s true that Illinois does not currently enjoy a traditional budget. The General Assembly hasn’t passed a spending plan that Gov. Bruce Rauner signed. And odds are slim that politicians will agree to a full-year budget in the final legislative session of the 99th General Assembly next week.

But state government is still paying out at a breakneck pace through a mishmash of autopilot spending, court orders and consent decrees.

In fact, state government is set to spend a record amount of taxpayer money in fiscal year 2017: nearly $40 billion. That’s a new high for Illinois, and nearly 8 percent more than when the temporary income-tax hike was in full swing, according to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.

And yet, Illinoisans are still hearing stories of suffering tied to the lack of a formal, full-year budget.

Low-income students at public colleges and universities are uncertain about the status of the Monetary Award Program, which helps with the tuition costs necessary to invest in their futures. And some social service providers that aren’t funded by court order are barely scraping by.

State spending is breaking records, so one would think Illinois could help these residents in need. But it’s not. How can this be?

Look to the state’s priorities for an answer.

There is plenty of funding to go around. There is more than enough spending growth. And Illinoisans have paid their fair share into the system. But the state’s spending priorities are out of whack.

Here are some key state spending categories and the percent change in each from 2000 to 2015. Note that total state revenues over this time increased a healthy 57 percent:

-Spending on culture and the environment decreased 59 percent
-Spending on higher education decreased 8 percent, excluding pensions
-Spending on human services increased 10 percent
-Spending on public safety increased 12 percent
-Spending on K-12 education increased 35 percent, excluding pensions
-Spending on Medicaid increased 141 percent
-Spending on state-employee insurance increased 166 percent
-Spending on state-employee pension benefits increased 586 percent

Some of these things are not like the others.

Pension costs alone now consume a quarter of the state budget, suffocating spending on core services such as higher education, human services and public safety.

What residents are witnessing now with human services is not a new phenomenon. Even when Illinois had full-year budgets and one-party rule, social service providers still got stiffed. In 2009, an Urban Institute study ranked Illinois worst in the nation in paying its nonprofit vendors on a timely basis.

Why? Priorities. The current fight over higher education funding is another perfect case study.

College was once affordable in Illinois. But Illinois’ public colleges and universities hiked tuition between 74 and 112 percent over the last decade. Now, college is too often out of reach for many students without them taking on debt and receiving help from the government.

This jeopardizes the future of our state, as young Illinoisans seek opportunity elsewhere. The Land of Lincoln is losing more millennial taxpayers on net than all other states except New York, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service, taking a net loss of more than 80,000 millennial taxpayers during the four tax years between 2011 and 2015.

“Just pass a budget already,” is a common response to this problem. But Illinoisans must first think about the state’s priorities.

Students have received the short end of the stick in this state, budget or not.

For every dollar the state puts toward higher education, half goes to pension costs. Illinois’ system of higher learning is no longer a ladder up to the middle class for students. It is retirement program for those it employs.

But surely that rise in tuition dollars went to ensuring access and affordability. Let’s look at the numbers. Between 2004 and 2010, student and faculty populations in Illinois grew less than 3 percent. The number of university administrators grew by more than 30 percent.

How’s that for access?

A full-year budget without major reforms simply serves to set warped priorities in stone. Before relenting to appeals for any budget at all, Illinoisans would be wise to consider what’s been done before, and why unwavering calls for change are so necessary.

Owner of Worden rental home seeks to dismiss personal injury suit

The owner of a Worden rental home seeks to dismiss a woman’s suit alleging she fell off the porch while carrying a moving box.

Erin Stambaugh filed the complaint on Nov. 10 against Robert Behme.

In her complaint, Stambaugh alleges that on Nov. 9, 2014, she was moving a box into Behme’s rental house, located at 501 Carson in Worden, when she allegedly fell off the porch. She claims the porch had no railing to prevent her fall.

Stambaugh alleges Behme failed to ensure that the porch had a proper railing and failed to warn the plaintiff of the dangerous condition.

On Dec. 23 Behme filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, or in the alternative, a motion to strike the claim for punitive damages.

Behme argues that a duty to the plaintiff does not exist.

“Illinois courts have not found that the owner of a property owes a common-law duty to install a handrail or railing.

“Further, the allegation that a duty exists without facts to support it is not sufficient to sustain a cause of action for negligence,” the motion states.

In the alternative, Behme seeks to strike the claim for punitive damages, arguing that punitive damages are prohibited “until there has been a hearing before the court whereby Plaintiff establishes a reasonable likelihood of proving facts at trial which would be sufficient to support an award of punitive damages.”

Stambaugh seeks a judgment in her favor of more than $50,000, plus costs and all other relief the court deems just.

She is represented by Rodney D. Caffey and Ralph J. Mendelson of The Caffey Law Firm PLLC in Godfrey.

Behme is represented by David Berwin and James Gallen of Evans & Dixon in St. Louis.

Remand of Home Depot class action upheld by Seventh Circuit; Madison Co. case originated in small claims

$

CHICAGO – Retailer Home Depot can’t remove a Madison County class action to federal court because it entered the action as a counterclaim defendant, the Seventh Circuit ruled on Jan. 5.  
The federal appeals court held that under the national Class Action Fairness Act, only original defendants can remove actions to federal court.
Justices affirmed Southern Illinois district Chief Judge Michael Reagan, who signed an order remanding the action to Madison County last September.  
Counterclaim plaintiffs Michael Bauer and Stacey Bauer claim the retailer tricked them into buying useless water treatment systems.  
Local lawyers Troy Walton, Micah Summers, Brian Kreisler and Sean Cronin represent the Bauers, along with George Granade of New York City.  
When the action began, it involved the Bauers as defendants and it didn’t involve Home Depot at all.  
Tri-State Water Treatment sued the Bauers in Madison County small claims court in 2015, claiming they failed to pay for a system Tri-State installed at their house.  
The Bauers responded with a counterclaim against Tri-State, asserting a multi state class action for fraud.  
They amended the counterclaim last February, to add Home Depot as defendant. They also added Aquion Inc., doing business as Rainsoft.  
The class is defined as everyone who bought a system after defendants conducted a water test in their homes.  
Plaintiffs say the tests identified mineral content rather than contaminants.  
Home Depot removed the action to federal court last April, arguing that it deserved special status as an additional counterclaim defendant.  
In May, the Bauers moved to remand the action to Madison County.  
Reagan held a hearing in September, and ruled for the Bauers later that month.  
The Seventh Circuit accepted an appeal petition and heard argument on Dec. 1.  
They reached a decision quickly, finding the Class Action Fairness Act doesn’t extend a right of removal to a party that wasn’t an original defendant.  
Chief Judge Diane Wood wrote, “Home Depot argues that absurd results would arise if we were to hold that additional counterclaim defendants cannot remove actions under the Class Action Fairness Act.  
“It fears that doing so would reward gamesmanship, because lawyers would be able to use small claims litigation as springboards for counterclaim class actions that would be stuck in state court.  
“This, it predicts, would reintroduce the forum shopping the Class Act Fairness Act was designed to eliminate.   
“We are not convinced that this will come to pass.”  
Wood wrote that state courts have all the tools they need to manage abusive amendments to pleadings.  
She wrote that the Act selectively increased federal jurisdiction but “did not roll out the welcome mat for all multi state class actions.”  
On Jan. 9, Reagan declared his previous order effective immediately.  
Stewart Haskins of Atlanta represents Home Depot, and Russell Scott of the Greensfelder firm in Belleville acts as local counsel.

Illinois judges continue to prolong the life of the contract that covers about 38,000 state employees in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
A week after Fifth District appellate judges in Mount Vernon honored an Illinois Labor Relations Board order that would have terminated the contract, First District appellate judges in Chicago temporarily stayed the labor board’s order.
The First District will consider imposing a stay that would remain effective until they have reviewed the labor board’s order.
In the meantime, while the primary union of state employees litigates its contract in St. Clair County, so does the state troopers union.
Lodge 41 of the Fraternal Order of Police sued Gov. Bruce Rauner on Dec. 21, over a freeze he aims to impose on regular raises that the troopers call step increases.
Like the larger union, the troopers aim to preserve the status quo by enforcing a contract that expired on June 30, 2015.
The troopers add an argument that lower pay impairs their pensions in violation of the Illinois Constitution.
Their complaint asks for an order expediting arbitration of their grievance.
Attorney Joel D’Alba of Chicago, representing the troopers, wrote that an arbitration panel held 12 days of hearings from December 2015 to last April.
D’Alba wrote that the panel issued an award on Dec. 2, and that on Dec. 13, the state rejected terms that favored the troopers.
He wrote that the matter would now return to the arbitration panel.
“Injunctive relief is necessary to preserve the status quo during the pendency of the parties’ grievance arbitration,” he wrote.
He wrote that the state’s conduct harmed Lodge 41, “by undermining the Lodge’s member support, the single most vital asset to any labor organization.”
D’Alba filed the complaint along with Chicago colleague Ryan Hagerty and local counsel David Cates.
Circuit Judge Robert LeChien set a hearing on Jan. 13, the same date as a hearing on Rauner’s dispute with AFSCME.
In the AFSCME matter, it took the labor board most of last year to reach a decision, and Rauner estimates the daily cost of the old contract at $2 million.
The state’s contract with AFSCME expired on June 30, 2015.
Gov. Bruce Rauner and the union agreed to abide by it until they signed a new contract or reached an impasse.
Rauner declared an impasse last January, and an administrative law judge for the labor board reached the same conclusion in September.
The labor board generally adopted recommendations of the judge at a meeting on Nov. 15, but did not specifically declare an impasse.
On Nov. 16, Rauner announced that he would implement his last and best offer.
He said employees could earn merit bonuses in consultation with the union, and that everyone with attendance above 95 percent would receive $1,000.
In days that followed, he said he would adopt union proposals on health, safety and bereavement leave:
- On Nov. 30, Rauner announced drug and alcohol testing on reasonable suspicion. Also on that date, in St. Clair County circuit court, the union moved to amend a complaint it filed against Rauner last April but never pursued.
- On Dec. 1, the union moved for a temporary restraining order.
- On Dec. 2, LeChien held a hearing and ordered Rauner to rescind any changes he had made to the contract.
- On Dec. 5 LeChien signed an order, and sent it to Rauner on Dec. 6.
- On Dec. 7, Rauner petitioned the Fifth District for review of LeChien’s order.
- On Dec. 13, the labor board formally declared an impasse at a regular meeting.
- On Dec. 16, Fifth District judges found that LeChien’s order lacked any basis because the labor board’s action changed the circumstances. They left it to LeChien to decide whether to dissolve the order.
- On Dec. 22, at the labor board, Rauner filed an unfair labor practice charge seeking damages of more than $2 million a day.
- On Dec. 23, in LeChien’s court, Rauner moved to dissolve the restraining order.  
Rauner counsel Thomas Bradley of Chicago wrote that the union filed motions to stay the labor board’s order at the labor board and at the First District.
He wrote that the union disregarded procedures for resolving disputes.
He wrote that the action in LeChien’s court constituted the unfair labor practice charge that the state asked the labor board to resolve.
Also on Dec. 23, the First District stayed the labor board’s order for as long as it takes to receive and review a motion for a stay pending appeal.
LeChien dissolved his order on Dec. 28, but noted the First District’s action. He set a hearing on Friday, Jan. 13.

When people tell you that they've fallen into money, you naturally assume that they mean it figuratively. You don't suppose they were sailing in a sea of currency and capsized or that they might have been working in a money plant and toppled into a vat of Federal Reserve Notes.

You know what they mean is that they were enriched by unexpected wealth – a bequest from a long lost relative who passed away, an ugly family heirloom that inexplicably caused heart palpitations for an appraiser on the Antiques Roadshow, that sort of thing.

It is, however, possible to fall into money, more or less literally, if you're good at falling.

Of course, you have to fall somewhere where someone can be blamed for the “accident” and held financially accountable. Which means, that someone had better have assets, or the performance will be a pro bono one.

You have to fall convincingly, too, or at least without an overly critical audience. If the fall seemed on purpose, the jig is up. The moment a security boss strolls by may not be the most auspicious time to attempt a convincing pratfall.

You also have to make sure that you or associates are not caught on camera surveilling the scene of the “accident” in advance of the hazard to which you subsequently succumb.

Getting caught with a squirt bottle after slipping on a mystery liquid militates against the argument that someone else must have spilled it. Credibility can likewise be diminished by a history of similar, well-reimbursed “accidents.”

Not that this has anything to do with James Lakin, the litigant who was recently awarded more than a half million dollars by a Madison County jury in recompense for a slip-and-fall incident at a Casey's General Store in Highland three years ago.

Let's just say, he fell into some money.

Northwestern justice center gets OK to inspect jail for Cahokia resident claiming wrongful incarceration

BENTON – Northwestern University lawyers representing a man with the mind of a child who spent seven months in St. Clair County jail for a crime he didn’t commit have gained court approval to inspect and photograph the jail.
They seek evidence for a wrongful incarceration suit they filed in federal court on behalf of Cahokia resident Jerry Outlaw, along with local counsel LaToya Berry.
According to the federal court lawsuit, older and larger jail inmates forced Outlaw to fight for his life. And for defending himself, he was placed in solitary confinement for 30 days, 24 hours a day.
The suit also alleges wrongful arrest, interrogation and prosecution by Cahokia police.
Police arrested Outlaw in March 2015, at age 19.
They questioned him about an armed robbery and put him in jail.
Then St. Clair County Chief Judge John Baricevic set bond at $250,000.
Chief public defender John O’Gara moved to reduce it.
Grand jurors indicted Outlaw in April 2015, and State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly issued a press release.
The charge carried a sentencing range from six to 30 years, plus 15 more for committing the crime with a firearm.
At a hearing in May 2015, prosecutor Erin Conner and public defender Greg Nester agreed to continue the matter.
“Speedy trial time is tolled,” Baricevic wrote.
Associate judge Randall Kelley presided over the next hearing, which Nester and Conner agreed to continue.
“No speedy trial demand,” Kelley wrote.
Baricevic reduced Outlaw’s bond by half on June 17, 2015, on condition that he not leave his house except for court.
Outlaw remained in jail.
A week later, on a motion from Nester, Baricevic appointed psychologist Daniel Cuneo to evaluate Outlaw’s ability to waive his constitutional rights.
Nester and Conner agreed to continue the next hearing while Nester awaited Cuneo’s report.
In September 2015, Nester moved to suppress Outlaw’s statements to police.
Nester wrote that Outlaw didn’t intelligently and knowingly waive his rights and that Outlaw didn’t make his statements voluntarily.
Baricevic set a hearing on the motion, delayed it twice, and never held it.
On Oct. 30, 2015, Kelly and his prosecutor decided not to proceed.
“The People have received a report from Dr. Daniel Cuneo in which he opines that defendant was incapable of waiving Miranda rights prior to giving a statement to the police,” Kelly wrote.
Conner and Kelly had other reasons to drop the case.
“Additionally, since the time the case was charged, two witnesses have come forward implicating two other individuals,” Conner wrote.
“Furthermore, testing done by Al Teschendorf with the Illinois State Police crime scene services command casts doubt upon the defendant’s guilt.”
She didn’t specify how long she had known these facts.
Last April, Berry and the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center of Northwestern University filed suit for Outlaw.
In it, they wrote that he was a new father who loved spending time with family.
They further wrote that with an intelligence quotient of 63, he faced the challenge of intellectual disability. They wrote that he has the intellectual function of a nine year old, and that he read and comprehended at third grade level.
The suit claims police knew about his handicap and took advantage of it to coerce a false confession.
“I am slow in the head,” Outlaw told police, according to the suit.
The suit claims that police chief James Jones told Outlaw his brother had confessed to the crime and implicated him. Jones also allegedly told Outlaw that his mother made a statement against him concerning his handling of the gun.
Jones and detective Matthew Mason also allegedly told Outlaw that his girlfriend denied she was with him at the time of the robbery.
“None of these things were true or ever happened,” Outlaw’s lawyers wrote.
They wrote that Jones and Mason implied that he wouldn’t see his son grow up if he didn’t confess.
“Jerry continued to get details of the armed robbery wrong and was constantly berated by the officers as a result, but also constantly had details fed to him,” they wrote.
“Whenever Jerry asserted his innocence, the officers continued to call Jerry a liar and redirect him.”
Cahokia and St. Clair County moved to dismiss the suit, and Outlaw’s lawyers amended it in July.
In September, Berry filed a motion in Outlaw’s criminal case to disclose transcripts of the grand jury proceedings.
Berry wrote that the transcripts were necessary to avoid possible injustice in Outlaw’s civil suit.
She wrote that the need for disclosure was greater than the need for secrecy.
She also wrote that the county revealed that detective Mason was the only witness before the grand jury.
Baricevic granted the motion.
Outlaw’s lawyers amended the complaint again in November, adding jail personnel as individual defendants.
County counsel Katherine Porter, of the Becker Hoerner firm, moved to dismiss the complaint in December.
She wrote that Outlaw failed to plead in a meaningful way how the officers personally caused the conditions he allegedly endured.
Cahokia counsel Brian Funk also moved to dismiss the complaint in December, arguing that video of the interview cleared the officers.
“Plaintiff, who was an adult at the time of the interview, was never physically threatened or harmed by the Cahokia officers,” Funk wrote.
“Plaintiff also clearly demonstrates that he can read and write English and appears to have no trouble communicating with the Cahokia officers and answering their questions.”
Funk wrote that a learning disability does not convert ordinary police tactics into conscience shocking behavior.
Vanessa del Valle of Northwestern responded to the county on Jan. 5, arguing that Outlaw alleged facts about conditions of his confinement that plausibly suggested denial of a minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities.
“Plaintiff alleges that the cell was filthy and unsanitary,” del Valle wrote.
“The cell was infested with insects, the walls were dirty, the bed mats smelled of urine, and the sink and toilet were filthy.
“He further alleges that the sink only produced cold water that tasted like bleach.”
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Williams entered a protective order on Jan. 6, to prevent public dissemination of photographs from the jail.
Williams manages discovery for Senior District Judge Phil Gilbert, who has set trial for April 2018.

A Highland couple allege a delivery driver failed to exercise caution for her own safety in a suit alleging the woman was bit by their dog while delivering a package.

Mary Scheibel filed the complaint on Oct. 24 against Eric and Leah Nanney.

In her complaint, Scheibel alleges that on Nov. 1, 2014, she was returning to her vehicle after delivering a package to the defendants’ home when their dog allegedly came from behind, knocked her down and began biting her in the right knee and leg.

Scheibel alleges the defendants negligently allowed their dog to be unattended, failed to control their dog and failed to warn her of the dog’s alleged vicious nature and its tendency to attack and bite without provocation. She also alleges violations of the Animal Control Act.

The Nanneys answered the complaint on Dec. 29 through attorney Martin K. Morrissey of Reed, Armstrong, Mudge & Morrissey in Edwardsville.

They denied the allegations against them and argue that the plaintiff failed to exercise due care and caution for her own safety.

Scheibel seeks judgment against the defendants of more than $50,000, plus costs.

She is represented by Micah S. Summers of Walton Telken Foster LLC in Edwardsville.

UPS delivery driver’s dog bite suit at trial in Mudge’s court; Defense questions when plaintiff returned to work

A suit alleging a UPS delivery driver injured his back after being attacked by a dog in 2012 is at trial in Madison County Circuit Judge William Mudge’s courtroom.

The trial began Monday.

Plaintiff Steven Campbell is represented by Charles Armbruster and Roy Dripps of Armbruster Dripps Winterscheidt & Blotevogel in Maryville. Armbruster questioned witnesses on Tuesday.

Defendant Keven Autenrieb is represented by Jason Kleindorfer and Michael Murphy of Freeark Harvey and Mendillo in Belleville. Murphy cross-examined the witnesses.

Campbell filed suit in November 2013 against Autenrieb. He claims he injured his back when he attempted to prevent getting bit by a dog while delivering a package at the defendant’s home, located at 3781 Raymond Road in Edwardsville.

Campbell testified on Tuesday that he has been working with UPS since 1988 and has been a delivery driver for almost 23 years.

He said he delivered packages at the Autenriebs' home on a weekly basis and knew to place the packages in the garage.

He claims that in July 2012, he was delivering a package at the residence and did not see or hear a dog outside the house that day.

He testified he had been trained to honk his horn and have the homeowner come get the package if an aggressive dog is present, but he got out of his truck to leave the package in the garage that day.

“If in doubt, don’t get out,” he said.

However, Campbell said that when he went to set the package down, he heard some shuffling and turned toward it.

He said he saw a dog “bolting” right at him with its mouth open. He said Mary Autenrieb, Kevin Autenriebs wife, heard the commotion and came outside and yelled at the dog.

Mary Autenrieb apologized and told him the dog is aggressive and is currently in training, he testified.

Campbell said he made it a little ways down the road before his back locked up. He called for assistance and was taken to Midwest Occupational Medicine.

“Physically, I was in, without a doubt, without question, the most pain I’d ever experienced,” he said.

He was offered a shot and was prescribed medicine.

During his follow-up appointment, he said he was certainly feeling better, but said he was still in pain. He said his prior testimony that he was “pain-free” has to be “inaccurate.”

Shortly after the incident, he returned to work and was provided with a helper to assist with unloading packages.

When asked why he returned to work, he said he “soldiered up,” and did what he was told.

“I work as instructed,” he said. “I do what I’m told to do. I soldiered up and gave it my best shot.”

However, he was working a couple weeks before he injured his back again while trying to deliver a deer stand.

During cross-examinations, Murphy pointed out that Campbell previously testified that he had not returned to work since the incident. Murphy said his statement of not returning to work was untruthful.

Campbell, however, said it was an inaccuracy with timelines and he was often confused from his pain medications.

Campbell eventually saw Dr. David Kennedy, a neurosurgeon practicing with Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Kennedy testified in a video deposition that Campbell never fully recovered from the dog attack, so the deer stand incident worsened or aggravated his previous injury.

Kennedy, who obtained his medical degree in 1979 from St. Louis University, said Campbell had lumbar strain to the muscles in his back. He said Campbell also had some bulging in some discs and an annular fissure.

Kennedy recommended injections and physical therapy, which generally helps a patient to heal in two or three months.

Campbell said he has followed all directions and attended all approved therapy sessions, but still continues to feel pain.

During testimony on Tuesday, Mary Autenrieb, testified that she was at home and was responsible for the dog, named Callie, at the time of the incident.

She said Callie is a 26-pound border collie-terrier mix and was rescued by the family in May 2011.

She agreed that Callie has a lot of energy and was in obedience training at the time of the incident.

Mary Autenrieb compared Callie to a circus dog, saying she jumps around and loves to play. She said Callie’s nature could sound aggressive to some who don’t know her.

Callie had a shock collar with a remote, but was not trained with their electric fence.

Mary Autenrieb testified that on the day of the alleged attack, she came out the door and saw Callie outside the garage door. She also saw Campbell standing in an arched position with a hand on his back as though he had been hurt. Callie was still barking.

She said she asked Campbell if he was ok, and he responded, “I thought she was going to get me this time.”

She said she could see that he had twisted his back. She offered him water and ibuprofen, but he declined.

She said she then left her house to run errands and saw Campbell’s truck on the side of the road.

During cross-examinations, she said Kevin Autenrieb was not home at the time of the incident.

Murphy chose to withhold his remaining questions for his portion of witness testimony.

Kevin Autenrieb testified that he would not classify Callie as aggressive but said she likes to bark.

He added that he’s never seen her bite at any tires.

He said Callie is his daughter’s dog and would have arrived at the house around 9 a.m., after he had already left for the day. His daughter was training her dog in obedience class to address the excessive barking, which he called a nuisance.

He also explained that the family does have an invisible fence for their dog, Mason, to prevent him from running to a nearby park to play.

Armbruster also called to the stand several UPS and FedEx delivery drivers who had experience delivering packages to the Autenrieb’s residence.

Each driver testified that they had witnessed Callie’s alleged aggressive nature.

A driver testified that Callie was territorial and came out barking, growling and biting the tires. He said he honked his horn and Mary Autenrieb came out to get the package from him. His experience occurred after Campbell's alleged attack.

Another driver said Callie chased him back into his FedEx truck. He said Kevin Autenrieb came outside to retrieve the package.

A third driver said he was helping Campbell deliver packages and was instructed by Campbell not to get out of the truck when Callie came running toward the vehicle.

He said Callie was “circling the van, biting the tires, barking like a little banshee. Kind of going a little nutso.”
