(this is a cute one)
75 students from Willowdale Elementary School in Omaha, NE received a first hand lesson in how the legal system works.
"Humpty Dumpty vs 'King' Sherman Auto Sales"
(a mock trial deciding Humpty's personal injury case)
Trial lawyers Steve Lathrop and Tom White, both Nebraska State senators served as legal representatives for plaintiff Humpty Dumpty and defendant Sherman 'King'.
Senator White argued that Humpty should not receive any money from 'King' because Humpty "wasn't merely a shell of his former self" and that his life wasn't "scrambled".
The 4th grade student jurors awarded Humpty Dumpty $15,000 in punitive damages. It is unknown at this point whether 'King' Sherman will appeal the egg's award.
Just goes to show a little fall from a wall might bring a big windfall.
