When it came to asinine lawsuits I thought we’ve pretty much seen it all but we have a new winner.
8-year-old Westport boy on trial for exuberance ~ Daniel Tepfer
The headline is somewhat misleading because the boy is now 12, but the fact his Aunt is suing him for four year old hug related injuries is a fact.
Jennifer Connell claims the boy, Sean Tarala of Westport, acted unreasonable when he leaped into her arms, causing her to fall on the ground and break her wrist four years ago. This week Connell is asking a six-member Superior Court jury to find the boy liable for his actions.
She is seeking $127,000 from the boy, who she described as always being “very loving, sensitive,” toward her. The boy is the only defendant in the case.
In court Friday, the boy, now 12 years old, appeared confused as he sat with his father, Michael Tarala, in the Main Street courtroom. The boy’s mother, Lisa Tarala, died last year.
Reader comments suggest she is after the proceeds of her Sister’s life insurance policy. As for Sean my advice would be for him to keep very far away from his crazy-ass Aunt.
Holy Asinine Assh*le Auntie, Batman:
Screw you Aunt Jen as you were not only zeroed even in a liberal Northeast court within 20 minutes of jury deliberation but you had to be escorted out through a crowd that wanted to break your other wretched wrist.
