I think in instances like these, if the defendant wins the case, the plaintiff should have to forfeit the same amount to the defendant, if they're suing for a million, when they loose the give a million to the defendant!
that'll stop bull s**t lawsuits like this!
OR we go back to my "shoot a lawyer day" idea
here's "shoot a lawyer day". everytime some "bull s**t waste court time" lawsuit gets filed, like "I cant get little debbies in the jail commissary", or "little timmy climbed to the top of a church building and fell and broke his arm", or "sally got drunk in a bar and was in a accident so I'm suing Budweiser beer", you know bull s**t lawsuits. the judge writes down the name of the idiot lawyer on a list (cause its the lawyers fault these cases happen! the lawyer could say no you don't have a case), and on april 1st (cause its april fools day) he hangs the list of lawyers names on a dart board, and throws a dart, and whoever's name he hits, the bailiff gets to shoot lawyer 1 time, if he lives he lives, if he dies, he dies either way, i'll guarantee that the next year, there wont be some lawsuit over somebody getting "fat because they ate too much mcdonalds food" (and yes that lawsuit was filled)
I do hope guy has filed a countersuit for harassment and emotional distress caused by the family's lawsuit and for the distress caused by the family's son's choice to force her shoot him!
Amen 100% to that BUT sadly almost ALL politicians are snake lawyers and they protect their 'own' snakes.
