My Dad (an EMT) was once sued for sexual harassment after he performed CPR and saved a woman's life. For touching her breasts. The union defended him superbly. Naturally. No good deed goes unpunished.

the Transition from story 9 to 10 made me laugh hard^^ Story 9: A tree on womans poperty fell into water and blocked her boat Beginn of Story 10: "I work for a tree trimming company....."

For those who don't know what double jeopardy means, it's essentially unable to be punished for the crime you have already been punished for. You can pay for an item with a dollar but you can't then pay for another item with the same dollar. You can however pay with another dollar. You can only be punished once per crime. And you will be punished for every instance of crime even if they are the same kind

can you imagine the hell we'd all be living in if you could only be convicted for a crime once

Story #8: if the man is as devout as he seems, then he should see this situation for what it is; God's way of telling him to not have any more kids, 7 is quite enough.

Yeah, cops usually need an arrest warrant to knock down your door and grab you, but there's an exception for hot pursuit (i.e. multiple cops saw you commit the shooting and run home). No warrant needed in that case, they can just break into whatever place they saw you run into.

some of these go to show that a defense attorney's job isn't necessarily to get an acquittal-it's to protect the defendant's rights and pursue the best outcome they can. Guilty defendants need representation, too.

Story 23: THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A DEATH THREAT!!!

Story 11: Like many other examples here, the hardest terms/conviction is what SHOULD happen. The criminal shows no remorse for ANY wrongdoing and is so dumb, it is better they don’t breed and further pollute society with their DNA/stupidity.

I once had someone try to sue me for refusing to perform a puppet show for her church because she's african. This is partially true. I refused to perform because she is IN Africa and I am not.

"He just wanted to scare her" *proceeds to describe the textbook definition of a threat*

Story #12 is almost verbatim my best friend and her brothers father. Sadly, he was disowned by his rich family before the kids were even born, so they'll never see that money

story #2:How I see if she got a lawyer to sue first lawyer. Lose case, has new lawyer fees, sue 2nd lawyer for losing first case (aka how much she "shouldve won" plus the lawyers fees they charged. hires new lawyer...loses lawsuit.....repeat. soon she owes many lawyers...more than initial money

40 years? For a crime that severe (the one resulting in paralysis) it should be a life sentence. The victim essentially has a life sentence.

That last story: Guy be like “base! I’m touching base!”

16:20 That Nike catch phrase is one of those that I really think should not be copyrightable. The words "just do it" is one of those short phrases that just about anybody will have heard at one point or another. We all have those moments when we are unhappy about the task being given to us and get told to "just do it".

If I got just shy of a million dollars and my legal council asked for 270k, I'd send them 270k and a fruit basket. Geez Louise.

Lawyers frequently take a 40% fee on injury claims as standard?! Good grief what a monopoly. I consider that impossible to defend.

4:09 That one PO's me to no end. A person's life is in danger, and the SoB only cares about the wife like she's a breeding sow. Bastard.

What's the saying? If you represent yourself you have a fool for a client? That applies to some of these stories for sure.

The fact that lawyers can justify taking 40% and then claim their clients are greedy is crazy

For Story #13, isn't it legal to fire someone for belief that they've committed a crime against the employer, even if their belief was patently false, and even if the allegation was so provably false that it would absolutely be a slam dunk case for defamation in most other circumstances?

I love double jeopardy cause so many people want to use it but it one works in cases where you can’t be tried in murder of a person you already murdered

Story 4 is what a famous pizza chain did use to do and it was a 30 min or less and you get your food for free type thing. They ended it after a bunch of accidents and several deaths by their delivery drivers trying to get to the houses in under 30 minutes.

don’t say egg or I’ll break you (Edit)mom get the camera!

For case 13, maybe the embezzling was discovered after she was fired for other reasons.

6:29 In the name of all that’s good, this is not how double jeopardy works. Don’t do this yourself.

The one who works for a character company can just tell anyone who calls to claim ownership to send the demand in writing at the onset to save time, unless it may have been a really slow day... 😅😅😅

I'll gladly be put six feet under ground...... with a certain understanding. I want a windowless subterranean apartment built much like a basement (minus the house on top) studio apartment with bathroom and kitchen with air-conditioning and a unit that pumps fresh air in and sucks old air out routed into the subterranean apartment and a flight of stairs with a chair lift so I can traverse the stairs safely (or put in an elevator for greater ease and safety for getting in and out of the living space). This way I can live in a relatively temperature controlled bubble of sorts.......

How TF can you TRANSFER a liquor license?! That makes zero sense.

I've been wondering this for a while now, but why are there so many mistakes in your captions when these are all pulled from text posts?

Story #23 man "It was not a threat, I just said it because" **explains the dictionary definition of a threat**

This is a case a friend told me about. It involved her cousin who sued her stepmother over some heirloom jewelry that her mother left for her. Cousin said that it was specifically stipulated in her mother's will that she get the jewelry among other things. She got everything except the jewelry. Stepmother claimed that cousin's mother did not leave the jewelry to her but wanted it to go to her daughter instead. This was news to just about everyone and stepmother said she had a copy of the amended will that stipulates this. After weeks of going back and forth, step-mom finally produced this "amended" will. According to my friend, anyone could tell that it was a very poor Photoshop copy of the original will but with easily noticeable cut and pastes of the cousin's mother's signature, and witness signatures, one of which was the lawyer that was representing the cousin in this hot mess, and it was just bad. Step-mother's lawyer looks at the document and then at her and tells her "I'm not about to submit falsified evidence to court. So either give cousin the jewelry or look for another lawyer and prepare to spend some time in jail."

Loved the "But an artist has to sign his work.....Oh...."

Im confused about story 13. Someone embezzles money from a company, gets caught and fired and that person gets to sue for unfair dismissal?

#8: How much you wanna bet he's one of those "I need her to continue my family name!" types?

Man in story 23 is something else entirely 😂😂😂😂

TREE LAW! TREE LAW! TREE LAW!

one of my ELA teachers was a parole officer..someone was getting charged with possession of illegal substances at the end he was about to win...then he said that the illegal substances were too expensive to get charged...he went to jail

1:00 just sounds like the average strong American citizen always wanting to sue

18:15 It genuinely sends me that this guy thought that saying "it was not a threat, it was a statement" is a defence. If it changes anything, it makes it worse.

Story 4, I am a bit confused as to why the pizza company gave a free pizza to make up for it that wasn't what was ordered so as to make sure they weren't giving him something he couldn't eat.

No case is impossible to defend Some just are really hard and have bad defenses “There’s a good reason my client murdered this man!! She was asking for it!! I mean, her heart was right there, just asking to be stabbed!”

A lot of people who sue have no clue how expensive lawyers are. You truly can’t afford one. The fees are sometimes calculated based on percentage of the win(judgement) so people with poor math skills really should take the time to figure it out to avoid surprise.😂

2:14 my friend got into because a guy did a piece for her, she claimed he didn’t tell her he’d put his signature near the piece but he used the same “artist has to sign his work” argument as the graffiti artist, he’s a tattoo artist…

This was certainly interesting, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.😢😊

Did I just stumble onto discarded scripts for Judge Judy?

gonna stop you right there. case 2: lawyer taking a 40% cut in a personal injury case, even if its industry standard. does not feel like SHE's the one being greedy here. sounds like we've identified why there are too many lawyers. 40% cut is WAAY too much. and if its industry standard, thats...ugly. like I'd fully support wiping the slate clean and getting rid of all lawyers if that was the case. you are a Problem for society at 40%.

My wife worked for an Attorney who had a lady come in and said her mother’s gravestone blew over and hurt her feet 😂

some pizza places did promise to have the pizza made and delivered within 30 mins but that was in the 90s/00s and its super rare for me to get one that fast now.

Story 11: Not going to lie, I once thought that was how double jeopardy worked. But I was in middle school at the time.

Most defense attorney's are getting cases they cannot defend because their job isn't to defend their clients innocence, it's to makes sure their client gets a fair trial. Most of their clients are guilty and they just need to make sure the evidence against them is legal and the trial itself the same. People think a defense attorney's job is to get their guy off, and while some offer their services like this, that's not how their role works in the justice system. Their role just happens to lead to that outcome.

Unless the tree that falls damages public works, it's your responsibility, but if it falls across powerlines let's say, they remove it.

You know, my brain made up its own clickbait but thinking the title meant "Theorectically impossible to defend but here's how we did it." Nope that's just what it says on the tin.

Man i love leorio on the thumbnail lol

I thoroughly enjoyed this

the fact you put leorio on the thumbnail when hes a doctor

"He fought okay for a pro se." Absolutely 100% heard that to the tune of "Pretty Fly For A White Guy."

The guy could have said that the "6 feet underground" thing wasn't a death threat, and that instead he merely meant he would bring her to a location that happened to be 6 feet underground. Cause the phrase "put you 6 feet underground" doesn't necessarily imply that you're going to kill them. It doesn't matter that pretty much everyone knows it's supposed to be a death threat, as long as he makes use of plausible deniability he could weasel his way out of it

story 2 makes me wonder why a lawyer would ever take a case from her again after that.

I need to know how story 2 ends man XD

Im not lawyer but id assume anything involving child neglect (endangerment, assault/rape, abuse) .

The one about the tree in the water. in some areas once a tree touches the water it is considered federal/state property

That's funny to think that because you were charged previously for the same charges, you can't be charged again😂

imagine suing your winning lawyer to avoid paying him. no lawyer would take that case, not one who likes getting paid, at least >.

tbh with cases like the first one idk how any lawyer can stomach taking it on

Story 1: Thinking on the baby, idk what is worst, finding out you where an accident or finding out you where evidence, lord have mercy

I can't quite put my finger on what cartoon character that gruff joisey voice sounds like.

Story #6: This reminds me of a guy who I met in college. He and I were both born in 1999 and he told me that he wanted to become an character designer for cartoons. One day he told me that he was actually trying to sue Seth MacFarlane because he stole his character designs from his cartoon that he was working on. The cartoon that he was referring to was Family Guy, which came out in 1999 😑

I think I've seen that video of the backhoe and the ATM circulating on the internet...

İllumigatthi's lastest shitshow. She's suing Wonderstruck Guy. İf you know the drama, illumigatthi will never win the case.

I play this game on my phone! I never imagined seeing it anywhere! :00000000

Story #11: double jeopardy protects one from being tried for the SAME charge more than once, WHEN you're found not guilty for it. However since this is a different charge of the same materials, you also earn a habitual offender charge!

Story 6, sounds like Ken Penders

The not paying for child support is actually what my dad did til we were adults.. he never had a proper job just side ones and only gets money in cash never had bank account til a few years ago. Me and my sister no longer talk to him for almost 8yrs at this point due to his issues narrasstic and drugs/alcohol issue.

Ask anyone who’s decided to take on Mango Mussolini as a client.

not a lawyer, but know one. he was a public defender for this case. Guy was charged with killing his wife. He was found holding the bloody knife over wife's dead body. Yeah, he lost the case. Was someone ese's problem after that for appeals

2:23 Am I hearing things or was that a near close to perfect impression of the judge from “History on trial” ?

#23 literally tried to use "it's a prank bro" as a legal defense

The gameplay 😤

What game is playing in the back ground

The first one i was like ‘Bojack?’ Like how does a real person mess up that bad? Were they trying to relive the past or what? Because a daughter is not a clone of the mom.

Story #28: Guy was playing too much GTA!

Some of these...you've got to wonder how they think courts work...

Ahhh my faith in us humans and our ability to bring stupid to a whole other level shall never waver.

Case #14, every once in a while, you see narcissists who marry themselves. Did that girl do just that, or did she in some other way flex her "partnering up with herself" on social media while still taking the money? That idea is so weird, yet I'm so familiar with narcissistic flexes, that I can't help but wonder if there's a connection...

Anybody got details on story 13?

I remember that game from around 10 years ago, it's called Race The Sun

Yooo I've played the game in the background it's called Race The Sun: Challenge Edition

Does anyone know the name of the game he's playing?

What game is being played in the background?

Did the last guy think Dr. McNinja was a history book?

Yeah,if you're going to dispute copyright,at least check when the copyright was filed against when you were born...

this is off topic but i was just watching a video about leorio then I see him on this thumbnail 💀💀

What’s the game in the background?

What game is that in the back ground? Lol it actually looks some what interesting

A fallen tree? Really? When i fall in the water, its everybodys tree!

oh man.. story #13... i wanna know the details..

yo whats the game in the background

Story 8: That's the problem with religion. They redefine and rebrand words. Faith is a good thing, despite sharing a definition with "gullibility". Good for the Church to better con you, not so good for your finances. Religious devotion is just a polite way to say someone swallowed the con hook, line, and sinker. It'd be more accurately described as sunk cost fallacy or being thoroughly brainwashed. Christianity outright states that women should be property, second-class citizens, and have little value beyond their functions as domestic servants and brood mares. Why would any self-respecting woman think being a Christian is, in any way, a good thing for them? The ones living it up in this life are the preachers, glorified over-paid arrogant story tellers with a con-artist background. And they promise you'll get your turn after you give them 10% of your lifetime gross income. You know, when it's too late to demand a refund. And then you get into the hypocritical cherry picking of selective outrage in the Christian zeitgeist. Any religious bigot in DUMerica will tell you that "God hates gays", and large numbers of them will protest anything LGBT. This position has some scriptural backing. But when was the last time you saw a group of Christians protesting barber shops, jewelry stores, blended fabrics, fancy clothing boutiques, bacon, Red Lobster, or tattoo parlors? Because the same part of the bible that tells you to hate the gays also says God also hates haircuts, shaven beards, fine jewelry, clothing made of blended fabrics, fancy clothing, eating pork, eating shellfish, and tattoos, among other things.
