Summary
An appellant raised two issues on appeal: insufficient evidence for a self-defense claim rejection and lack of jury instructions on deadly force. The appellate court affirmed the original decision. In another case, the trial court awarded $6,200 in attorneys fees to the appellee, but both parties challenged the decision. The appellate court reversed and remanded the case for further review. A take-nothing judgment means appellants receive no damages, and they may be responsible for appellees attorneys fees unless the appellate court changes this decision.Full Conversation
what does this mean "The trial court also awarded Appellee attorney's fees in the amount of $*,*. Appellants challenge the trial court's take-nothing judgment in two issues, which contain multiple sub-issues. Appellee also challenges the amount of attorney's fees awarded by the trial court. We reverse and reman"
This means that the trial court initially awarded the Appellee (the party who won at trial) $*,* in attorney's fees. The Appellants (the party appealing) contested the trial court's decision (called a "take-nothing judgment") on multiple grounds. The Appellee also challenged the amount of attorney's fees awarded. The appellate court reviewed these challenges and decided to reverse the trial court's decision and send the case back for further proceedings (remand).

so they disagreed with the judgement, undid it and sent it back for the judge to review again?

Case Rating: *
This means that the jury found in favor of the Appellee (the party who won at trial) on at least one defensive issue. Consequently, the trial court ruled that the Appellants (the party who lost at trial) receive nothing from their lawsuit. The trial court also awarded the Appellee $*,* in attorney's fees. Both parties challenged parts of this decision, leading the appellate court to reverse the trial court's decision and send it back for further review.

take nothing means?
Case Rating: *
"Take nothing" means that the court ruled the plaintiffs (Appellants) will not receive any damages or relief from their lawsuit against the defendants (Appellees). Essentially, the plaintiffs get nothing as a result of their suit. Do you have any other questions about this case?
because the appellants have two reason, one was found valid and the second was found to be not so the judge rules "take-nothing" but who gets the attorney fees bill?
Case Rating: *
In cases where a "take-nothing" judgment is issued, the trial court usually awards attorney's fees to the prevailing party. In your scenario, since the appellants brought the suit and the court ruled "take-nothing" in favor of the appellee, the appellants may be responsible for paying the appellee's attorney's fees, unless the appellate court reverses or modifies this part of the decision.
