Downhill for Downhiller

The model/ski instructor who sued the 14 year old girl for being in the way has lost her case. The jury of eminently sensible and rational people decided that Sarah Walker was 95% at fault for the accident. Walker had this to say:

Walker voiced disbelief that jurors found her 95 percent responsible. ''I don't think it was fair," she said.

So here is the result:

A federal courtroom, judge, clerk and stenographer were occupied on a trivial matter instead of something more important.

One lawyer (the defense) makes a good piece of change defending a crappy law suit.

One lawyer (plaintiff) makes nothing, assuming he took the case on a contingency. (If he took the case on an hourly fee basis, Sarah Walker is quite a fool, because she had to have known, or been told, going into this litigation that her chances were slim).

One 14 year-old girl has an experience she'll never forget or want to live through again.

And one self-centered young lady will, most likely, go on blaming other people for her misfortunes.

And I'll bet she doesn't slow down, either.
