Jury to Decide Pittsburgh Road Rage Lawsuit

A jury in Pittsburgh will decide if the city is at fault in a lawsuit filed against a former police officer over a road rage incident. The lawsuit accuses the off-duty officer of "grabbing the other driver by the throat, chasing him down when he fled and waving his gun around" after a fender-bender. The suit says the city ignored the officer's past behavior and anger problems and was negligent in failing to prevent the incident.

A former male student at the New York prep school Horace Mann has filed a lawsuit, claiming he was sexually abused by a music teacher hundreds of times over a four-year period. The suit, filed in New Jersey, contends the abuse happened between 1973 and 1977. The plaintiff alleges the teacher plied him with wine before sex, which later led to a dependence on alcohol and drugs. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages.
