The widow of a Florida middle-school teacher gunned down by a student nearly three years ago will receive no money from the manufacturer of the weapon, because it did the job it was designed to do and the company isn't at fault, a judge ruled Monday. Circuit Judge Jorge Labarga threw out a jury's $1.2 million verdict against Valor Corp., which was to be awarded to Pam Grunow. Her husband, Barry, was killed by 13-year-old Nathaniel Brazill in May 2000 after Grunow refused to let him inside his classroom. The Europeans are right. We are crazy.
