Aunt tries to sue nephew for hugging her


Connecticut Post reporter John Burgeson tells 5 live's Sam Walker that a 12-year-old sued by his aunt for 'acting unreasonably' at a party four years ago has been found not guilty.


"The jury took all of 15 minutes to decide the young boy was not guilty, so auntie didn't see a dime," Burgeson said.


The aunt claimed that injuries sustained in the accident had a profound effect on her life, and that she was at a party recently where it was "difficult to hold my hors d'oeuvre plate."

Unfortunately, there are some right 'unique' people living In the states!


More unfortunate for me, I met a fair few as a police officer for 4 years over there!
