Facts

Mrs. Vinyard (P) slipped and fell in the parking lot of her father-in-law's funeral home (D) while the parking lot was wet. In an effort to prove that D knew that the parking lot got slippery when it was wet, P attempted to introduce evidence that people had complained to D about the condition of the parking lot. D objected on hearsay grounds. The trial court admitted the testimony and P got the verdict and D appealed.
