Description

Action for libel brought by a public official (Deputy City Marshal) against a private citizen. Plaintiff claimed damages resulting
from publication of specific statements concerning the performance of his public duties. Trial resulted in a verdict and judgment
for plaintiff in the sum of $300.00 actual and $1,000.00 punitive damages. Defendant's motion for new trial was denied and
he has appealed. Both litigants were residents of Lake Tapawingo, Jackson County, Missouri, a town or village of approximately 250 families.
The plaintiff, Rockford Rowden, on January 2, 1964, was a Deputy City Marshal. The defendant, James E. Amick, had been a school
teacher but at the time in question was an insurance broker. On January 2, 1964, the plaintiff placed a "ticket" on defendant's
Ford automobile which set forth that the vehicle was "illegally parked". Thereafter a summons was issued, defendant was brought
before the City Police Court Judge, a trial was held and defendant was found guilty. A fine of $5.00 and costs was assessed.
Defendant did not appeal. He indicated that he might have appealed except that before he did so his wife "paid the fine and
costs."
