CLASH OF BOGOSITIES
Here's a story about a woman charged with assault for wearing perfume and spraying disinfecants and insecticides in the home she shared with her husband, who had just received $150,000 in a worker's compensation settlement for alleged "allergies that resulted from exposure to toxic mold and hazardous chemicals." He claimed he had become "chemically sensitive" as a result of these work-related exposures, a kind of claim I used to see when I was doing personal injury cases. Seems he wouldn't share the loot when the couple decided to split up. Her comment? "The guy's a faker," she said. "He just wants to gain an advantage in the divorce case." Pretty funny. Sounds like someone needs to do a Daubert motion.
