That sounds stupid to me. Spend the money on somebody that isn't in the slammer. * * *

When he was 9 years old, Carl Murphy, now 18, was trespassing at a warehouse near Liverpool, England, and fell through the roof of the building. He fell 40 feet and suffered a massive skull fracture, so he sued the building's owner, claiming that if the site had a better security fence to keep him out, he wouldn't have been injured. The court bought it: he was awarded 567,000 pounds (US$1.06 million). "After all I've been through, I feel I really deserve this money," Murphy says. "The papers just call me a yob and a thug because I've been done for robbery and assault but those were just silly stupid little things, like." He plans to spend his cash on a "flash car" and "a big house so I have a place to live with me mum when she gets out of jail." (London Telegraph, London Times) ...Tip to Murphy's new neighbors: install a good security fence -- around his house.
