Mouse in Soup

Carla Patterson, 38, and her 22-year-old son, Ricky Patterson, tried to sue Cracker Barrel for $500,000  after claiming they found a mouse in the vegetable soup the woman ordered at a Newport News restaurant on Mother's Day weekend in 2004.  Yesterday a judge imposed a one year jail sentence and a $2500 fine.  Carla cried during the sentencing.   Now why on earth should she be crying?  She plans to appeal but tests showed that the mouse was not cooked and had not drowned.  He had skull fractures.  The conclusion based on the evidence is that the mouse was hit over the head and added to the soup.  Two things here.  First Carla Patterson does plan to appeal.  If she truly is innocent that means someone else added the mouse to the soup.  Maybe she had infuriated the cook or the waiter?  Second, if she isn't innocent, then that means she was truly trying to run a scam.  Remember the finger in the Wendys Chili?  Third, okay three things, if she is innocent why on earth would she try to sue the restaraunt?  This is the part of our society I don't understand.  No is ever allowed to make a mistake any more.  Will we be suing because we find a hair in our pudding?  With dna testing we can come to some conclusion about who the hair belonged to.  Obviously the management should have ensured that their employees were wearing hair nets and/or shaving their heads!    See the whole story here:  Woman Jailed for Mouse in Soup Scam       FREE information on government grants, auctions, and more!  www.freefromscams.com       Technorati Tags : scam, scams, news, arrests, politics, justice       Powered By Qumana
