HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A woman who sued her 12-year-old nephew for $127,000 over injuries she received when he exuberantly greeted her at his birthday party four years ago was forced to go to court over her medical bills, her lawyers said Wednesday as backlash against her on social media sites poured in.
A jury on Tuesday rejected Jennifer Connell's lawsuit, finding the boy was not liable for her injuries. She had said she broke her wrist when the Westport boy jumped into her arms at his 8th-birthday party, causing her to fall.
BOSTON – Hillary Clinton gained Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey's backing Wednesday, less than 24 hours after her winning performance in the first Democratic presidential debate.
"Hillary has spent her career fighting for American families and working to ensure they can achieve their American Dream," Markey said in a statement posted on his website late Wednesday. "She understands the challenges facing our nation – college affordability, income inequality, access to affordable health care – and has real plans for how to address them."
