Let me answer that question with two responses. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #86

You seem to be assuming everyone who goes to trial is guilty as charged and Jenoch Aug 2013 #88

Yes. Sometimes life sucks. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #93

What if it were you? Throd Aug 2013 #103

I would deal with it. Nobody wants to pay out large sums of money, but it happens sometimes. MoonRiver Aug 2013 #104
