Justice In America : The Scales Are Tipped to Insanity

I don't know if these are actual cases of insanity but given our justice system, anything is possible. Remember the woman and the hot coffee that she spilled in her lap from McDonalds and got $millions? I think this was appealed but even so it says a lot about our justice system.

Here are a couple of the Stellas for this year: More to come.                 
SEVENTH PLACE *         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 store
owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the
running toddler was her own son.
 
     A head scratcher? Start scratching!                                       
SIXTH PLACE *         Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won
$74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand
with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was
someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his
neighbor's hubcaps.
          Scratch some more...
