tort shall, at the close of the plaintiff's evidence, and before

legally sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to recover, or a prayer to
the same effect, and the court shall reject such prayer, the
defendant shall not be precluded from offering evidence of
defense, but any defendant in such action may offer evidence of
defense as fully and to the same extent as though such prayer
had not been offered.
