Lawyer Offers $1M For Proof His Client Could Have Done It; Oops

A Florida attorney, Cheney Mason, made the mistake of offering a million dollars on a TV show to anyone who could prove that his client, Nelson Ivan Serrano, was able to travel across two states and kill four people in the time that prosecutors had alleged. Having a lot of free time, South Texas College of Law graduate Dustin Kolodziej decided to take Mason up on his dare. Dustin traveled the route prosecutors say Serrano took, completed the trip under the time allowed, and videotaped the whole process. He is now suing Mason in the federal district court — because the attorney doesn't want to pay, saying that his statement was just a joke.

Get off your high horse, Care Troll

[spun]

How many murders were committed the year of this trial? How many other trials were there? Do you care about all of them? Not in an abstract sense, because anyone can claim to care about something they have just heard about: in a real sense, DO YOU CARE? If your answer is anything but, 'no, I do not care in any concrete sense of the word' then we know you are a liar. You may care about 'justice' and 'people' and other abstract concepts, and these trials represent those concepts, but you do not actually care about the people involved because you do not know them and have never in your life done anything for them. Seriously, have you spared one moment of thought for any of them? How could you have, you don't know anything about those trials, they are, to you, completely abstract. Like this case. Weedhopper was being honest, you are merely pontificating about morality, possibly to make yourself look better. You are a what I like to call a Care Troll. You probably also feign offense when people joke about the recently dead, don't you? Care Trolls don't really care about anything but looking superior to others.
