A Butte County jury has found a Gridley supermarket not liable to pay civil damages to an illegal alien who slipped and fell on a grape inside the store.
The plaintiff, who suffered a fractured kneecap in the incident, had sought over $400,000 through her lawyer for past and future medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
The jury was not specifically told the shopper was an illegal alien, only that she "couldn't legally work in this country."
Superior Court Judge Barbara Roberts read a stipulation to that effect to the jury after the woman's San Francisco attorney, Rafael Crespo Jr., had asked her on the witness stand whether the reason that she couldn't pay her medical bills was because she couldn't work.

And who picked that grape? She should sue Mexico!
Pretty funny that the plaintiff’s counsel was the one that brought the subject up in court.
After they fix her knee.
LOL! You’re right!
“...those dastardly grapes.”
Did she help pick ‘em? How can she sue illegally picked grapes?
They are trying to do just that - using our court syestem - against us. Immigration attorneys specifically target them to file lawsuits. Under the dead bill, American citizens would have had to pay all her legal costrs regardless.
What the ....?
Why withhold from the jury that she fell while in the commission of a crime?
I was wondering the same thing.. if she picked the grapes..and if they were from Nancy Pelosis vinyard?
“I wonder why her status as an illegal was not brought up.”
Because “That is RACIST”.
Don’t you know that yet?

I think they must get a handbook as they cross the border on "HOW TO SCREW AMERICA", because they seem to know all the ropes for collecting every possible freebie.
