Now you’re the racist… Shyster (despite your incorrect spelling) is a derogatory term for people of the Jewish faith. Good work, bonehead (a derogatory term for cave-persons).
Seems my first reply to Georgia Boy’s post was removed. I can only assume it is because I responded to Georgia Boy simply as Boy. I apologize if this was taken as offensive. In the future I will be sure to use the full name of the person to whom I am directing my post. For example: Barack Hussein Obama. Anywho…nothing racist in my first post Georgia Boy. Nothing.
Of course this outcome was a function of the venue – remember, Maryland was a slave holding state which did not leave the Union and Baltimore is the repository of many of the left behind.. When all the jurors look like the plaintiff, one may count upon a sympathy verdict (as in OJ not guilty as tried in downtown LA instead of the correct venue (WLA) – but, hey – what about the fact there was no lead in the specimen paint to begin with ?? Bad verdict and should be appealed
You know, this does sound a lot like jury justice where the facts need not apply. Lead paint hasn’t been sold in the US for private use in over 30 years. Most if not all public agencies stopped using lead paint in the early 70’s when the 1st evidence of its harmful effects emerged. I find it hard to believe that someone in the US who was born in 1984 would have been knowingly exposed to lead based paint.
And the sad thing is that this housing authority most likely doesn’t have any money it can raise through taxing authority much less insurance, so it means that there will be less services provided for the poor people who need them the most to pay for this suit. And someone considers this to be justice????
WOW… Just one other thing: Surely he wasn’t the only child raised in the public housing!!! And I’m pretty darn sure alot of those now-adults can’t read anything beyond a 5-6th grade level. Shouldn’t this have been a class action suit?
Then again, Justice’s peers were the jury. That explains the verdict. tsk tsk tsk
Having investigated hundreds of alleged lead poisoning claims (lead paint) I never cease to be amazed that only one race seems to be affected by it. Has anyone ever investigated why? Here’s one man’s theory. Poor me. I live in public housing. I have no education. I have no money. I’m an idiot. But there’s hope. If I blame it all on lead poisoning I could make some cash.
I would love to see the evidence presented at this trial. This verdict sounds like he won the lootery (robbing the government for instant wealth) as opposed to any actual form of justice. It seems the only justice in this court was the plaintiff. (Sorry, somebody had to make that joke).
What can we otherwise conclude other than the highly plaintiff oriented venue alike to quicksand. Ive been there many times and it is a loser. Anyone crazy enough to let a jury decide monetary damages is crazy, stupid or both.

It is unreal the hate in here sometimes!

It is more than evidence. It is also how it is presented. Perhaps the insurance company lawyers should be more prepared or know how settle.
