Crazy Lawsuit

The Plaintiff: Mortimer Hetsberger, a 22 year old bank robber 

The Defendant: Laura Gonzalez, a teller at the Fleet Bank in Atlantic City, New Jersey 

The Lawsuit: In July 1998, Hetsberger handed Gonzalez a note at her teller window. It said: "I want the money now." According to Gonzalez, he also told her "Now, or I'll shoot." She handed him $4,000. He was captured the same day. When he heard that Gonzalez had accused him of threatening her, he filed $1.5 million lawsuit for slander, explaining that he'd never even spoken to her. 

Verdict: No ruling yet.
