A lawyer of Charlotte, North Carolina, bought a rare and very expensive cigar box, and contracted an insurance policy against fire and other risks.  To the end of one month, having smoked all the stock of cigars and still without having pay at least the first installment of the prémio of the insurance, the lawyer entered with a share against the insuring one.  

In the share, the lawyer declared that the cigars had been lost "in a series of small fires."  The insurance company opposed to pay it, basing with an argument: the man consumed cigars in the normal way.  

The lawyer processed the insuring one... and win's!!!!!!  

When pronouncing the sentence, the judge agreed to the insurance company of that the claim was trifler.  Not obstante, the judge declared that the lawyer contracted an insurance policy with the insuring one, in which this agreed that the cigars were also held and that covered the risk of the fire, without defining, however, what would be considered "unacceptable fire".  Therefore, she was obliged to pay the indemnização.  

Instead of supporting the long and expensive resource of the sentence, the insurance company accepted the decision and paid USD 15,000.00 to the lawyer for its "loss of rare cigars, burnt in fires".  

NOW The BEST PART.  After the lawyer receiving the check, the insurance company ordered to arrest it for 25 ARSON cases, BECAUSE DELIBERATE!  With the proper Reividication of payment of the insurance and the jurisprudence of the previous case to be used against it, the lawyer was condemned by intentionally setting on fire its property covered for insurance and condemned the 24 months in the arrest and to a fine in the value of USD 24.000,00.

Oh yeah, I find this sooooo easy to believe.

It sounds totally like america.

The only coutry I know where they care more about the Law than Justice and whats right and wrong.

I heard a true story about a guy who broke into a house, slipped on a childs toy inside the house and sued the owners of the house for leaving the toys around dangerously. He WON???

I say shoot the guy for being a criminal!!

A friend of mine from texas once said: If you see a criminal on your property and shoot him, if he's still alive after the first shot, shoot him again so he cant sue. Otherwise your in big trouble.

It's extremely sad but it's the truth!

One crazy story from my country...ohhh yeah we are going mad too

-------------------------------

The history, according to the GNR ( Police ) of Messines, started when women in that locality received at home and work a phone call from a person representating a laboratory in Faro, and providing information on a new technology that would allow breast examination by satellite.  

According to the source of the GNR of Messines, had been received in the rank some complaints from women who had fallen in the hoax of the "new" technology, fact that immediately was communicated to the Public prosecution service, continuing the authority agents the tending inquiries to select responsibilities.  

For the GNR of Messines, the facts in such a way can accuse a "trick of bad taste", or as "nuts thing" . they had found the guilty one.  It seems that they went to the house of these women with a telescope and saw them in the windows half-naked.
