Highlight

An appellant assumes the consequences and the risks for failing to provide a complete transcript of proceedings in the trial court, and if the record on appeal does not provide for a meaningful and intelligent review of an issue, the supreme court may decline to review the issue.
On appeal, jury instructions must be viewed as a whole, and if they correctly advise the jury of the law, they are sufficient although parts of them, standing alone, may be erroneous and insufficient.
Generally, one who consents to conduct that would otherwise be an intentional tort cannot recover damages for that conduct.
An adult prisoner's apparent consent to sexual conduct with a jailer imposes neither absolute liability on the jailer nor a complete bar to recovery in the prisoner's civil action premised upon the sexual conduct.
