In 1970, Russel T. Tansie, an Arizona lawyer, filed a $100,000 damage lawsuit against God.

Answer 2

A Charlotte NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires."

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous, however; the judge stated that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

NOW FOR THE BEST PART. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced him to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine. This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

Answer 3

A Georgia inmate is suing the prison where she is serving a sentence for burglary and aggravated assault because she says the facility is infested with spiders.

Marcia Wall's lawsuit, filed in federal court in Atlanta, says she and other inmates at the Washington State Prison in Davisboro have been bitten repeatedly by spiders and that they have been denied them proper treatment.

"They live here with us," Wall said. "We've got to share this place with them. But it's getting crazy."

A Department of Corrections spokeswoman, who would not comment on the lawsuit, said the 1,000-bed prison is fumigated once a month by a pest control company.

"We don't want anyone to get bit by spiders," the spokeswoman said. "We're responsible for their health as well as their well-being. Any time they let us know, we try to correct the problem that is happening."

Wall's lawyer, McNeill Stokes, said inmates have sent him envelopes filled with dead spiders as proof of the infestation.

Wall and other inmates want prison officials to seal faulty window screens, clean up webs around the prison grounds and take their medical claims seriously
