On his birthday, the now 12-year-old defendant received a brand-new red bicycle that he was looking forward to very much. When his aunt came around the corner, it had happened to him. Full of anticipation, he rushed toward her and embraced her. His aunt injured his wrist - and then sued her little nephew for $ 127, 000 in damages.
At the recent indictment in New York, the 12-year-old boy was sitting in the courtroom with his father. His mother died last year . In the court, Jennifer Connell resubmneted the incident and told her how her nephew ran wildly at her birthday "Aunt Jen, I love you, " cried and flew into her arms. As a result, she was overturned, fell and broke her wrist. At that time, she had not complained, the plaintiff said, but life in New York had made her realize how restrictive the injury was to her everyday life. "I was at a party recently and was struggling to keep the Hors d'Oeuvre record right!"
Rightly the complaint of this heartless aunt was rejected by the American court and the little boy acquitted. What Jennifer Connell thought about this action is not known. We suspect: not much.
