>2007 Johnny's family is approached by a lawyer who says they're owed something because Johnny skinned his knee and he'll take the case for a 50/50 split plus expenses. They sue the School, the School Board, the County, and the State. The lawyer knows the most favorable jury pool in the state and gets the case moved to that county where they award Johnny’s family 27 million dollars. The family receives only 8 million after the lawyer takes his split and expenses. They blow the money inside 3 years and fail to even consider paying the taxes. The financial advisor they used who was a friend of the lawyer gives the lawyer a substantial kick back for the referral.
