My only hope is they are not still in the country I hope the government uses this as an oppertunity to make there lives absolute shit by deporting there asses, applying a penalty so they cant leagally imigrate for 20 years, and after 20 years if they do come back give them such a limited visa they cant pick there nose in public with out getting deported
another reason why i'll shoot if someone breaks in my house. i don't need them tripping on one of my kid's toys and suing me.

i didnt read the case notes but was this a "jury" vote or the judge decision. If it is jury voted i think those people on the jury need to be deported to mexico

we need a system in place that forces the loser of a civil suit to pay other's court costs, lawyer fees, etc etc. we would get rid of a shit ton of frivolous lawsuits

the families can though.

remember that armed robbery that happened in cali back in the 90's. the guys went into the bank with full body armor and automatic weapons? they gunned down some police before they were finally taken down. the officers watching over the injured robbers made the medical people go help the officers first. the robbers blead out and eventually died. well the families sued the officers and won saying that they purposely neglected him when he deserved medical attention.
