Court: Circuit Court, Cape Girardeau County, Missouri

Plaintiff's Attorney: Brian McNamara, Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Defendant's Attorney: Mary Eftink Boner, Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Description:
City of Cape Girardeau sued Jerel and Belen Lichtenegger d/b/a Global Trading on an eminent domain theory to acquire by condemnation certain rights, title and interests in property owned by them on Broadway in Cape Girardeau to widen the street. The Lichteneggers were offered $88,000 but declined, telling the city their property was bigger by half than Tracy's and in better shape. A three-person commission appointed to mediate the issue offered $74,300 on May 19, 2006. The Lichteneggers again refused. Their lawsuit against the city claimed the property was worth far more than dollars and cents. They own a home near the shop, which is also near their daughter's home. To relocate, Jerel Lichtenegger testified in court Wednesday, would cost $300,000.

Defendants' verdict for $65,000.00.
