25 minutes…The time taken for the Connecticut jury to decide that Jennifer Connell would receive zero damages for her broken wrist - an injury she had after an over enthusiastic greeting from her nephew - The New York Daily News reports.
Now-12-years-old, Sean Tarala had been sued by Connell for $127,000 in damages after he accidentally broke her wrist when he was 8.
Sean’s lawyer said the only thing the boy is guilty of is “trying to give his aunt a hug on his birthday.”
Connell’s lawyer William Beckert. “She is not here enjoying a moment of this.” But Sean “should have known better.”
Sean’s family has declined to comment, but I’m guessing she won’t be invited to many birthday parties in the future.
Hey, what’s that saying - you can’t choose your family!
