Our Constitution does not guarantee the right to break into someone’s house. Yet a

burglar in Bristol, Pennsylvania thought he had that right, and a jury agreed! He

broke into a home, but got locked in the garage trying to escape. With no way out

and the homeowners away, he spent 8 days in that garage, surviving on a case of

Pepsi and a large bag of dog food, until the homeowners returned, and called

police. He claimed because the garage door opener didn’t work, he had suffered

undue mental anguish, and sued the homeowners’ insurance company. Shockingly,

the jury sided with him, and made the insurance company pay him $500,000 for his

ordeal. We should all look through the lens of liberty and remember the

importance of personal responsibility, especially before we serve on juries.
