Jelly Jury #3 -What should be done with this state senator?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43702points) January 24th, 2011

In January 2008, a Perinton NY couple decided not to prosecute state Sen. James Alesi after Alesi entered their under-construction house, tried to scale a ladder from the basement to the first floor, fell and broke his leg. The Sheriff’s Office in January 2008 gave the homeowners the option to prosecute Alesi but “the homeowners said ‘Let’s not add insult to injury here and press charges,’.”
One day after the 3 year statute of limitations for trespassing expired, Sen James Alesi (Rep.) sued the home owners and the home builders claiming they did not take steps to ensure the safety of the unfinished house.
Here is a link to the full story
So, Jelly jurors, I leave it up to you. Do you think Alesi is taking the builders and new homeowners to court because he wants to help society, eliminate dangers, and improve the lot of his constituents? Or is his motive something else? What should be done with people like this?
