Summary: NY State Senator Jim Alesi injured himself when he decided to look in on the house (under construction) of a Perinton NY couple. Since the front door was locked, he was cited in a sheriff's report for criminal trespass. He allegedly went through the basement door and tried climbing a ladder to the first floor and fell, suffering leg injuries that required surgery. He is now SUING the home owners and the builders. Alesi claims that the builders were negligent in maintaining a safe premises. This happened 3 years ago.
Why is this moron still in office?

He still needs to be thrown out of office if he doesn't resign quickly enough -- have a recall election, or however they do it there.

We need to resurrect a few grand old traditions.

The problem is that public humiliation used to carry a shameful stigma and was to be avoided at all costs. Today it gets you invitations to daytime/reality TV and a book deal. :facepalm:

What was he trying to do there? Just intrigued by the empty house and wanted to explore or was he actually trying to steal stuff?

Claims he was checking out the house for some friends.

I think the appropriate thing to do is for the defendant to break into his house, injure themselves and counter sue.

Has he named the friends? If he is not up front and open about it, it makes me wonder who the friends were.

So, could he still be sued for a frivolous lawsuit?
