Pa. Jury To Decide If Girl Was Burned By Scanner - Twilla - 04-13-2010
ERIE, Pa. (AP) ― An Erie County has been asked to decide whether a 12-year-old girl was burned and later developed psychological problems when a convenience store clerk allegedly aimed a hand-held price scanner at her face.
Dominica Juliano was 12 when she and her grandmother entered the Country Fair store in Erie in June 2004.
A clerk allegedly called the girl "grumpy" before flashing his hand-held bar code scanner over her face and telling her to smile.
Attorneys for Juliano and her guardian say the girl was sensitive to light and burned, and later developed post-traumatic stress and Tourette's syndrome. (Oh my god
)An attorney for the store says the scanner uses a harmless LED light and that the child had serious health problems before the incident. The trial began Monday.

I was sued like this once too. Stupid woman slapped my pony's ass, got kicked and said she wound up with some life threatening disease because of the knot in her shin.
She got a settlement because, like the asshole who put his face in the pony's food bucket, it was easier to settle.

Torte reform-torte reform.
Anyone who sues for stupid shit like this and loses should have to pay attorneys fees for both sides, although knowing our court system she probably wont lose.
