Sen. Harry Reid gets injured...

And tries to sue the company that produced the band he was using. His case was thrown out as it had nadda for evidence to support his claims:

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A jury in Las Vegas flatly rejected former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid’s lawsuit against an exercise band maker he blamed for injuries — including blindness in one eye — he suffered when the stretchy device slipped from his grasp and he fell face-first a little more than four years ago.

After eight days of testimony, the eight-member civil trial jury deliberated about an hour before declaring that Reid never proved the first of 10 questions they were asked to decide: that the device Reid used that day was a TheraBand made by Ohio-based Hygenic Corp.

Jurors never saw the actual device because Reid’s adult son, attorney Leif Reid, disposed of it soon after Harry Reid was injured.

Reid and his wife, Landra Gould, weren’t in the courtroom when the verdict was read. The 79-year-old former Democratic Party leader used a wheelchair throughout the two-week trial, following treatment for pancreatic cancer and back surgery.

Their lawyer, James Wilkes II of Tampa, Florida, said he respected the Nevada jury’s decision. “I may not agree with the outcome, but I agree with the way we got there,” Wilkes said.

Note the last part of the next to last sentence " following treatment for pancreatic cancer, and back surgery"...rarely, unless it's caught early does one get pancreatic cancer and survive very long, that, and it's a very painful way to go..My guess, reading between the lines he got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and probably dosen't have long to live..

Yep. It normally starts to show signs around stage 4, at which point it's too late. Had a reletive who went from diagnosis to grave in 5 months

So the Jury didn't believe him and now he is gravely ill and likely dying.
Karma will be like that sometimes.

Yup. My Gramdma was less than that. Pancreatic cancer is near the bottom of the diagnosis' anyone wants to hear..

I don’t think anyone believes it was the band or the supposed fall that gave him such a smashed up eye. Probably just a reminder from a generous Vegas donor.

I was about to say, one of his younger, stronger playmates taking exception to whatever adult game he wanted to play...

My gut says this time one of the underage boys rumor has it he likes to butt-bang took exception to being the bang-ee... the "exercise band lawsuit" was just a coverup.
