Description

This is an appeal by defendants John and Brenda McQueen from a judgment entered against them pursuant to a jury verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $7,500. On appeal they assert plaintiff failed to make a submissible case. We affirm. Defendants were the owners of an apartment building in the City of St. Louis. About four months prior to the accident giving rise to this suit, they rented a one bedroom apartment to plaintiff's mother. Plaintiff is a minor, who was either six or eighteen months old at the time of the accident. 1 The apartment was on the third floor with a porch, which could only be reached through the kitchen, overlooking the street. The porch was enclosed by double steel rails running parallel to the floor. The bottom rail was about two feet from the floor, with the top rail two feet above that. There was a wire mesh screen between the bottom rail and the floor, but no protection between the rails. The screen, which was attached to the bottom rail but not to the floor, could be pulled up, but not be pushed out.
