The Driven-Over Scooter
Order in the court.
Today, you are the jury. The plainntiff is Herbert Nenninger. He is suing Robert T. Louis for driving over his scooter.
Let's here from Herbert Nenninger:
Your honor, I am suing Mr. Louis for purposely running over my scooter. It was at around 5: 40 p.m. at 2/6/17. I parked my scooter in an empty spot, and went inside Cool Cassidie's CD's when I heard somebody screaming coming into the shop. The woman told me that somebody's scooter got driven over by a man with a pizza parlor shirt waving out his window. I rushed outside, and I found my scooter scrunched up on the ground under Robert's car.
Now from Robert T. Louis:
Your honor, I did not purposely drive over Mr. Nenninger's scooter. Sure, me and him had a long history, but I was only teasing him, and there was no harm done. He even knows that. We both work at Mott and Bott Pizza and I believe he is suing me just so he can feel great. You see, recently, the manager promoted me to Lead Cook. Nenninger was not happy.
When asked a few questions, Louis stated that he stopped immediately when he moved into the parking lot the scooter was at when he heard a scrunch under the wheels of the car. Knowing by that sound that there was something that now got drive over under his car, Robert paused and waved out his car window forward at the store.
You also have help from the Nashville Police. They reported that they saw the scooter, with the back wheels of the car over it.
Did Louis mean to drive over the scooter?

Yes, Louis intently drove over the scooter. He said that he stopped immediately when he heard the sound of the car over something. When you regularly park your vehicle, the front wheels go in first. This would mean that the front wheels would be over the scooter. Yet the police noted that the back wheels were crushing it. That means that Louis did not stop when he heard the noise and decided to run over what he drove over, which in this case was Herbert Nenninger's beloved scooter.
