Aunt who sued 12-year-old nephew for $127K gets no money

A jury has ruled against a New York woman who sued her nephew for hugging her too hard on his eighth birthday.
In a case that suddenly burst on the national news scene, Jennifer Connell claimed the boy acted unreasonably when he leaped into her arms and caused her to fall on the ground and break her wrist four years ago.

But a six-member Superior Court jury found that the boy, Sean Tarala of Westport, was not liable for his actions.
Connell showed no emotion as the verdict was announced but later pleaded with judicial marshals to escort her to her car through a throng of media waiting outside the Main Street courthouse.
She ignored shouts for comments as the marshals led her away.
