Topic: Attorney James Sweeney spends $103,000 for a bowl of pasta.

Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago #76,486

A jury awarded a woman struck in the head by a bowl of pasta at a Connecticut restaurant more than $100,000.

The jury in a Waterbury, Connecticut, courtroom ruled at the end of last month that the woman hit by the bowl, Constance Koulmey, would receive $103,000 from attorney James Sweeney after he threw the bowl in her direction, the Connecticut Law Tribune reported Friday.


For those reading this late breaking news I offer you copypasta
Fra Diavolo Sauce With Pasta

This version better replicates the $103,000 bowl because it includes Shrimp and Scallops.

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided.
6 cloves garlic, crushed.
3 cups whole peeled tomatoes with liquid, chopped.
1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.


In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the garlic over medium heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle, pour in the tomatoes. Season with salt and red pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the shrimp turn pink. Add shrimp and scallops to the tomato mixture, and stir in the parsley. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce just begins to bubble. Serve sauce over pasta.

Back to our late breaking story:

The woman said she had been walking towards the restaurant’s exit when the man suddenly threw a pasta bowl at the other man and instead “struck her about the head and face, causing the spicy sauce to drip down her head onto her face and in her eyes and further causing her to fall striking her head.”

The Connecticut resident claimed she suffered a head injury with a concussion, headaches, eye pain, and “daily severe back pain with radiating pain,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claimed Koulmey’s “injuries or effects therefrom are, or likely to be, permanent in nature.”

Sweeney denied causing injury in the incident but admitted that he threw the pasta. Criminal charges against him had been dismissed and his lawyer declined to comment on the ruling.

Which led to this late breaking topic which was not reported on CNN. We do not have a clue how much of that pasta was consumed by the attorney. We are sure the attorney will have to chase a few more ambulances to cover the cost.
