The Beehive of Lies

After a trial that lasted approximately one day, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Legalese has ordered a copy of the trial transcript which contains the testimony of all the witnesses as well as arguments of counsel. The plaintiff, in trying to show the jury that the mobile home park was actually a "slum" with the owner being a "slum lord" argued that the mobile home was in such bad shape that the owner of the property should have known about the nail in the vent. The plaintiff's attorney argued that there were repairs going on in the mobile home on a daily basis, suggesting to the jury that the mobile home was in bad shape and that the plaintiff was living in a mobile home with numerous problems. The plaintiffs attorney stated that the plaintiff lived in a beehive, and "when you live in a beehive full of bees you are going to get stung."

During the trial, the attorney for the mobile home park argued that the plaintiff and her daughter were lying. During closing arguments he argued that "when you live in a beehive of lies, you're going to get stung with a lie."
