NYC aunt loses lawsuit against 12-year-old nephew over hug that broke her wrist
A Connecticut jury needed just 25 minutes Tuesday to decide against a Manhattan human resources manager who sued her own nephew for $127,000 in damages after he accidentally broke her wrist.
Connell barely flinched when the jury’s verdict was read and then fled the Bridgeport courthouse without saying a word.
Her now 12-year-old nephew, Sean Tarala of Westport, Conn., was not in the courtroom.
“We just couldn't find him, you know, liable for what happened,” a female juror said of the boy.
