Hanley, J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. I would uphold the findings of the jury on the basis that the jury had a right to disregard the testimony of Michael and Louis Sherman and Bartolone as untruthful. Also, the jury was not required to believe Michael’s story that the store was busy and he thought it would be a good time to try the machine because he knew the store rule prohibited its use by general store employees. A more reasonable inference would be that Michael under those circumstances would have requested his father or the regular operator to stencil the two T-shirts in question. I would affirm the trial court’s judgment.
