Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs who just clinched the NL Central Division to go to the playoffs for the first time since 2003.
How far will they get?
The Cubs won their game today and awaited the outcome of the Padres-Brewers game, which just completed minutes ago. The Brewers lost 6 to 3.
Normally, a story like this one wouldn’t be one that I’d think about posting on this blog, because it wouldn’t have any relevance to Carpentersville. However, the pending lawsuit against the Village may give it some relevance.
A jury awarded a 13-year-old Chicago boy $19 million on Monday for severe brain injuries he suffered when a television fell on his head during class at his Catholic school.
While the circumstances surrounding what happened are admittedly different, the case may be indicative of the case of Osbiel Lopez.
In this case, the then-9-year-old boy, tugged on a television bolted to a stand which then toppled down and struck him on the head, causing permanent brain injury.
The archdiocese sought settlement in the case.
“It was an accident, so we did admit the liability,” said Susan Burritt. “Basically, the Archdiocese has been primarily concerned for the future of the young person involved.”
