Ridiculous. The boys are more like 90% than 10% responsible, but their families don't have the deep pockets.

. It said the boys who threw the cart ages 12 and 13 at the time of the injury were 10 percent responsible, the security company was 25 percent responsible and the mall was 65 percent responsible.
Utterly insane. The boys are 99.9% responsible, their parents the other .1%.

Malls are forced by law to admit feral thugs and are then held responsible when these feral thugs behave exactly as expected.

Juries are often filled with people who think “That could be me sometime and I want lots of money”. Idiots.

What kind of boys, I wonder.A possible clue: "... the mall was in East Harlem."
To: reaganaut1
"... It said the boys who threw the cart ages 12 and 13 at the time of the injury were 10 percent responsible, the security company was 25 percent responsible and the mall was 65 percent responsible..." WHAAA?

Lower court award should get substantially reduced on appeal.

Most philanthropists have money to throw around. I’m betting the jury was told she’ll give the money to poor people hence the judgment.

October 2011 is when it happened.. 7 years ago. Wonder why it took this long?
Kids are the responsible party not security or the mall.
If that’s the case if I’m the victim of a crime, the perpetrator is 10% responsible, cops 25% and the city it happens in 65% so remember that and sue away.

...
Or it will be settled before then.
I don’t see how this stupid ruling would survive.
