Sinopse

Our Constitution does not guarantee the right to break into someone’s house. Yet aburglar in Bristol, Pennsylvania thought he had that right, and a jury agreed! Hebroke into a home, but got locked in the garage trying to escape. With no way outand the homeowners away, he spent 8 days in that garage, surviving on a case ofPepsi and a large bag of dog food, until the homeowners returned, and calledpolice. He claimed because the garage door opener didn’t work, he had sufferedundue mental anguish, and sued the homeowners’ insurance company. Shockingly,the jury sided with him, and made the insurance company pay him $500,000 for hisordeal. We should all look through the lens of liberty and remember theimportance of personal responsibility, especially before we serve on juries.
