Outcome
The court upheld the trial judge's refusal to permit forfeiture of the bond for title, allowing the successors to redeem the property, but disagreed on whether interest and costs should have been assessed on the remaining amount due.
Similar Rulings
Appellant's claim that he did not receive a fair trial lacks merit. There is nothing in the record to indicate that the trial court magistrate exhibited racial bias by crediting appellees' trial testimony over appellant's testimony and video evidence. Moreover, the credibility of the witnesses' testimony was for the magistrate, as trier of fact, to resolve, and there is nothing in the record indicating that the magistrate's credibility determination was unsound. Judgment affirmed.
