When I read of this in the week-end newspaer I knew it would make the ICJ and that many outraged comments would follow - the problem (aside from the intellectually indefensible suggestion of ANY liability) is the VENUE - try this bad boy in,say, Augusta Maine and reason might well prevail. As anyone who has ever litigated in Rhode Island will tell you, the area is so economically depressed potential jurors have nothing to do all day but sit around and hope they are next in line to play the litigation lottery.
