David Schofield, Appellant v. City of St. Paul, Appellee

Summary

The court held that the superior court abused its discretion by excluding statements suggesting that the appellant would face potentially career-ending investigations if he did not resign. The exclusion was prejudicial because the statements were central to his constructive-discharge theory and could have substantially influenced the jury's verdict. The court therefore reversed the judgment and remanded without reaching the remaining appellate issues.
