1. ““ “When ruling on a motion for directed verdict, die trial court is required to resolve all facts and inferences reasonably to be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. Where reasonable minds could reach different conclusions based on the evidence, die motion must be denied. A similar analysis must be applied by an appellate court when reviewing the grant or denial of a motion for directed verdict.’ [Citation omitted.]” Wilkinson v. Shoney’s, Inc., 269 Kan. 194, 202 , 4 P.3d 1149 (2000).”
