I don't feel bad. Doing something illegal trasporting drugs. Did it say if he was illegal too? The things people will do for a few pennies. Maybe he wanted to get his CDL so he could legally drive a big truck and transfer even more drugs? Who cares about his urethra. It's his own fault. Let him pay. Not our fault those border patrol have bad aim and didn't get him where it counts. But hey, he's not the only dumbnut out there who's done something stupid, sued and have won... who knows what his outcome will be.
This is an e-mail I got from an old co-worker...
Time, once again, to review the winners of the annual "Stella Awards." The
Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck, who spilled hot
coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in New Mexico ). That case
inspired the Stella Awards, for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful
lawsuits in the United States .
Here are this year's winners:
5th Place (tie):
Kathleen Robertson of Austin , Texas , was awarded $80,000. by a jury of her
peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside
a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at
the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's
son.
5th Place (tie):
19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when
his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently
didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to
steal his neighbor's hubcaps .
5th Place (tie):
Terrence Dickson of Bristol , Pennsylvania , was leaving a house he had just
finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door
to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't
re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when
he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself
locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found,
and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming
the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed, to the tune
of $500,000. In my opinion this is so outrageous that it should have been 2nd
Place !
4th Place :
Jerry Williams of Little Rock , Arkansas , was awarded $14,500. and medical
expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle.
The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less
than sou because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at
the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and
was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place :
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster ,
Pennsylvania , $113,500. after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx
(tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at
her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2nd Place :
Kara Walton of Claymont , Delaware , successfully sued the owner of a night
club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor
and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was
trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50
cover charge . She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses
1st Place :
This year's run away winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City , Oklah.
Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her
first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway,
she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go
into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the
freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising
her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded
her $1,750,000. plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their
manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete
morons around.
assgas: They had one of the INS guys get beat down while in prison as well a while back. :flamemad:
