Civil Suit

My dog is at least 7 times as likely to be a dog rather than a cat.

Criminal cases involve fines, not damages. "Damages" are assessed to settle torts, or Civil actions (a wrong comitted persons or entities against other persons or entities as opposed to crimes...those are wrongs against the people...collectively termed "the people")

Small claims court by definiton caps the $$ amount one could get in damages.

At least that's what I remember from studying legal theory when I was the meanest claims adjuster in NW Ohio....happily stomping on the rights of others to dramatically underpay injury claims...bullying the ignorant into accepting shoddy repairs to their crappy cars...

If this "civil suit" is in fact real then it is really not an easy process to collect damages at all. I have no idea as to what the theory he is suing under, but in most cases the plaintiff must first prove that the wrong committed against them caused actual damage. If found the court will then award compensatory damages which are meant to do exactly what the name implies. This can be difficult to do (at least to get any significant amount) if the PL didn't really suffer any harm. Of course there are exceptions, but I've already probably bored everyone to death.

Since this is a civil suit and will soon be a matter of public record then why can't those who found it necessary to post the info on this board come forward with all the facts? Oh yeah . . . Go BG Hockey!

ITs not real, it was a great and fun lie and nothing more.
As for the 7 times, just quoting information heard on CNN, MSNBC the oj case etc...

in the end I hope the Virgin doesnt testify it would really hurt the case.

Rumor has it the law firm of Jackie Chiles and Associates will handle the case.

He wasn't too successful in the tobacco litigation or the scalding coffee case. He wasn't at fault though for the failure of the case against Sue Ellen Mischke. "Of course a bra's not going to fit on over a leotard. A bra's got to fit right up against a person's skin...like a glove!"

"By the way, Jerry, they're real, and they're spectacular".

Yeah, because we all know who you are and truly believe you have "inside information."

It's funny how many people claim to have inside information, yet never divulge the info.

Everytime I read the dang hockey forum, I feel like I need to take a shower to wash off all the crap.
