People's Court: You Decide

[Ric_Flair]

In law school you hear the craziest stories ever.  If something could happen, in all likelihood it has happened, and it has been litigated.  But here is a new one for me.   This story was related to me by a professor and is certainly true.  Some unknown law student works as an insurance policy monitor.  One of the cases he has on his docket now is focused on whether the family of an insured deceased should be able to recover for the insured's death if the death was the result of a rupture of his duodenum that occurred during a fisting episode with his boyfriend.  The first tier of review said no because the death benefits trigger only when the cause of death was accidental.  They claimed that the death was intentional.  What do you think?  And isn't this the craziest thing you have EVER heard?  PS:  look up duodenum on google.  OH MY GOD!

[Dr. Sylvan]

It's only intentional if the guy was wearing brass knuckles or goes by "Wolverine".



(Did anyone else think of Family Guy the second they read "duodenum"?)

du·o·de·num    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (d-dnm, dy-, d-dn-m, dy-)
n. pl. du·o·de·na (d-dn, dy-, d-dn-, dy-) or du·o·de·nums

    The beginning portion of the small intestine, starting at the lower end of the stomach and extending to the jejunum.

That was a hell of a fisting if it reached all the way to the guy's stomache.

That's only what he WANTS you to think. Think about it. It's the perfect crime.

[Bram]

Perfect, if you have a bar of soap handy, that is....
