Thaddeus, a potential Nobelist in Physics, simply panicked. He rushed up the vehicle to axe for a ride. He was running late for Bible Study Class, because a Physics Lab experiment took longer to complete than his teacher had realized. He also had to drop his Choir Robe at the dry cleaner and pick up his 'cello for the Eagle Scout Orchestra Concert. The pressure was intense.
Cochrane has gotten testimony from Dr. Henry Lee which proves that the Marine Sgt. was injured when his own weapon went off. Thaddeus was just reaching for the small black Bible he had always carried, to comfort the poor fellow, when this unfortunate misunderstanding took place. On behalf of the bereaved family, Cochrane is suing McDonalds, The Marines, The Vehicle Manufacturer, The Weapon Manufacturer, The Ammunition Manufacturer, the County, The Town, The Hospital which was unable to revive young Thaddeus, and Jim Robinson and the Freepers.
An angry Cochrane told reports:
"When my clients takes a hit, no end of folks must remit."
