Thought you might be interestd in reading strange lawsuits from all over the globe....


The Plaintiff: Mortimer Hetsberger, a 22 year old bank robber

The Defendant: Laura Gonzalez, a teller at the Fleet Bank in Atlantic City, New Jersey

The Lawsuit: In July 1998, Hetsberger handed Gonzalez a note at her teller window. It said: "I want the money now." According to Gonzalez, he also told her "Now, or I'll shoot." She handed him $4,000. He was captured the same day. When he heard that Gonzalez had accused him of threatening her, he filed $1.5 million lawsuit for slander, explaining that he'd never even spoken to her.

Verdict: No ruling yet.

If you like this, let me know. I've got more where that came from!
 
Here's another one, just a short one.

The Plaintiff: A 25 year old moruary driver

The Defendant: A California Highway Patrol officer.

The Lawsuit: The driver was stopped in Orange County and given a ticket for driving in a carpool lane with no passengers. He protested that he had four passengers-the four frozen corpses he was transporting. He went to court to overturn the ticket.

Verdict: He had to pay the fine.
