Can I claim I'm addicted to buying new cars? Can a woman claim she's addicted to shoe-shopping? Can we get all of our money back?
He would probably win in the U.S., too. Something along the line of suing the distributor that sold the gun that made its way to a pawnshop that sold it to the uncle of the boy who stole the gun from the uncle and used it to kill his teacher.
In the $24 million lawsuit, the six-woman jury found Valor Corp. (the distibutor) to be 5 percent responsible, the school board 45% for allowing Brazill on campus with a gun, and McCray (the uncle) 50%. The murderer's portion of the blame? 0%. The gun manufacturer would have been sued also, but it went out of business years before the murder took place.
Yeah, a gambling lawsuit can be successful here.
