CADENA, Justice
(dissenting).
Without expressing any opinion as to the validity of the traditional trespasser-licensee-invitee distinctions, I would reverse the judgment below and remand the cause for new trial.
The instructed verdict can be upheld only if we conclude that, as a matter of law, defendant had no knowledge that the condition which she had created constituted a danger. Disregarding, as we must under well-established rules, her assertion of ignorance, I believe that the evidence is sufficient to raise a question of fact as to her knowledge of such danger. We, of course, are not concerned with the factual sufficiency of the evidence to support a finding in favor of plaintiff.
