Reported by Kent Morlan

Cindy Sehorn sued Levi Mitchell and Richard Mitchell1 in the Circuit Court of
Cass County claiming that they wrongfully caused the death of her daughter, Sara
Beth Maloney. The petition alleged that Levi wrongfully caused Maloney’s death
under a battery theory, and that Richard wrongfully caused Maloney’s death under a negligent entrustment of firearms and ammunition theory. The trial court granted summary judgment in names for purposes of clarity.
