Killip v. Mannisto , 624 N.W.2d 224, 244 Mich. App. 256, (Michigan state court) (2001) (Shortened, simplified, all internal cites omitted.)

This action arises out of a dispute over a strip of land situated between the lots of two neighbors. Plaintiff Killip has been using this strip of land since approximately 1975 as a portion of Killip’s driveway but is in fact titled in defendant Mannisto’s name. Mannisto told Killip to tear up the portion of the driveway on Mannisto’s land and stop using it. Killip sued Mannisto and asked the lower court to determine Killip had an easement by prescription in the disputed strip. The trial court ruled in Killip’sfavor saying an easement by prescription had arisen and Killip had the right to continue to use the area as a driveway.

Full Disclosure on Sex Offenders”

Case #1: The first case involves an office equipment company where a 34-year old office equipment repair technician was paroled after serving a 7-year sentence for attacking women on jogging paths. His previous employer offered to rehire him as a field technician who would travel to other offices to repair business machines as he has been an excellent employee with outstanding repair skills. Students’ views will differ. However, most students will probably think that the employee should be able to continue his job since he has paid his time for his illegal actions. If his job was more connected to jogging paths, such as a park employee, then the answer would be different.

Case #2: The second case involves an African American who had served 10 years for child pornographic possession.
