A lawsuit was filed against a QuikTrip gas station in Edwardsville, Ill. after Dorothy M. Williams slipped and fell on a banana peel. She is suing the station for injuries to her back and knee.

Stephen Millhouse's attorney defended him by saying that his client was too stupid to be dangerous, after breaking into a woman's apartment to ask for sex. Millhouse was turned down, but then asked for a date. The woman finally gave him her phone number just to get rid of him. When he later called her to ask her out again, she called the police and arranged for his arrest. When on the witness stand Millhouse was asked, "Do you really think she wanted to see you again?" Millhouse's answer was, "I didn't know for sure. That's why I called." After the trial, Millhouse was convicted of burglary in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
