This is how trials are won! The defense wouldn’t put on the chicken suit, so Nicholas Rowley Nick Rowley did, right in the middle of his closing.
His client, Mitch Carter, was a high school kid who got talked into wearing that suit to mock a rival school’s mascot at a pep rally. Students jumped him and he ended up with a traumatic brain injury.
Rowley put it all on, head, beak, feet, and showed the jury what it was like to be stuck in that thing in front of a crowd. The defense objected. The judge allowed it.
The jury found the school district at fault, and the case settled for around $10 million. The offer before Rowley took the case was $50K.
Past results don’t guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different. Find Nick Rowley in the Mrcheckpoint directory!
