I Lose Another Trial

I'm going down to DT's place for the weekend to finish putting on a roof or to clear out a lot of brush in preparation for planting. In any event, I'll have a much-needed workout. He also e-mailed me about huntin’ varmints. No worries, cat-lovers. He doesn’t live in Wisconsin.

Or in our little suburb. Down the street and around the corner, a guy was arrested for shooting geese inside city limits; it seems that the geese were in his driveway and would not move as he tried to pull his car out. That can get a person mighty upset. Rather than run them down with his car, he pulled out his gun and started shooting at them.

In the mail, I got the decision from the judge who presided over the trial in December of the dispute between the used car dealers. One used car dealer, whom I did not represent, sued two used car dealers, whom I did represent, over a used car lot deal gone bad. We had the trial without a jury because who could believe anybody involved in the case, two lawyers representing used car dealers. Come on. That's fodder for a sitcom.

The other used car dealer said my clients backed out of the deal and that he lost 492,000 dollars in business because my clients backed out. And I admitted that my clients backed out, but that the other used car dealer didn't lose near that amount of money.

The judge found in favor of the other used car dealer and awarded $465.
