Good old fashioned beatdown

[Bailey Guns]

The suing party should at least have to pay the legal bills of the defendant if they lose. There needs to be skin in the game to avoid some of the stupidity when people sue because they have nothing to lose.

Sometimes there is. The kid who sued me for $17M wound up learning the hard way about how much a good law firm makes on a case and how easy it is for a good atty to tear you a new one when you lie about what happened and can't keep all your lies straight between written statements, depositions and trial. The first thing the judge did after dismissing the jury was call this kid and all the attys into his chambers to ask how the unemployed 20yoa POS was gonna pay the $480K in legal fees submitted by my lawyer's firm.

And I learned that it's very gratifying to see a young mind learn something valuable about how the legal system works. And I still smile about it and wonder how paying off that judgment is going for him.

I also like stories with a happy ending.

480,000 legal fees?
Wow!
That suit must have been a doozie
