Case Dismissed
I was actually on the jury. A guy was suing a business, said he got injured, and couldn’t work for three years. He was shopping at this big grocery store chain and slipped in some water in front of the freezer.
His wife recorded a video of him in the water, and she said the water wasn’t showing up and to try splashing. He had a record and was representing himself.
The defense council asked him if his inability to work could be from the two previous knee injuries he’d had, which they knew about because his previous lawyer had requested his medical records. They went, “Sir, isn’t it true that you spent 18 of those months behind bars for an armed incident?” Case dismissed.
