Remember, the case is from New Mexico, so it is not controlling in Alabama. However, it will be persuasive.

Well, the rulings in favor of the plaintiff are based on national court cases and Federal Supreme Court rulings so I would think it could be admisable in an Alabama court. If nothing else, it would be a great starting point for an attorney. I really think Jonathan_Norris and condition1ftw need to see this case and show it to their attorney(s) in reference to their July 4th experience.

It's not a matter of admissibility. The attorneys will be able to use it in argument. The judge will not be compelled to follow it (not controlling), but will likely choose to follow it (persuasive).

This case has been mentioned numerous times here and at ALOC. Jonathon is well aware of it.
