A boy broke into someone's house at 2am, and got his arm broken by the homeowner, and then the mother of the boy takes the homeowner to court — and won $800,000. So what happened? According to the story, this boy went to the house late at night and started forcing his way through the front door. Inside was a 30-year-old woman named Sarah. She heard the noise and quickly realized that someone was trying to break into her home. Out of fear, she grabbed a baseball bat. As the boy forced the door open, he reportedly managed to put his arm through the partially opened doorway. Sarah swung the bat and hit him with full force. The boy suffered a serious fracture and was left with permanent damage. But the shocking part came afterwards. His mother reportedly took Sarah to court, arguing that her son was unarmed and had only intended to steal money. She accused Sarah of using excessive force and demanded $2 million in compensation. Sarah's lawyer argued that the boy was actively breaking into the house and that she was simply protecting herself inside her own home. The court reportedly agreed that the boy intended to burglarize the property. But the judge also ruled that he hadn't completely entered the house or directly attacked Sarah at the moment she struck him. Sarah was eventually found 40% liable and was ordered to pay approximately $800,000 in damages claiming that the boy has sustained permanent injury due to the force she used to hit him. Do you think the judge was unfair to Sarah?
