The Kroger Co. v. Knox
Annotate this CaseIsaiah Robinson attacked Respondent Linda Knox in a Kroger parking lot, punching her several times and taking her purse. Claiming that Kroger had a duty to place an armed guard in its parking lot and that its breach of that duty lead to her injuries, Respondent sued the Kroger Company and Kroger Limited Partnership and recovered damages. Kroger appealed. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that unless Kroger was on notice of an atmosphere of violence in its parking lot, it had no duty to place an armed guard there. Respondent failed to present sufficient evidence on that point, so the Supreme Court reversed the trial court's decision and remanded the case for entry of dismissal.
