The Man Who Sued Himself for $5 MillionAn inmate's absurd but technically legal court case.

From the show

It really happened

A Virginia inmate once filed a $5 million lawsuit against himself. This story reveals how a simple legal process, designed for legitimate grievances, can be twisted into a logical absurdity. After getting arrested for being drunk, Robert Lee Brock argued he had violated his own civil rights. Since he had no income in prison, he reasoned the state should pay the damages on his behalf. The case highlights a bizarre, yet creative, exploitation of the legal system.
