damn man, thats a shitty deal. Just wondering, but how old are you? And I would plan on putting that old lady out of her misery soon. From what it sounds like, even a sub-par lawyer could easily make a healthy case as to why you were on that patio. Another question, was it your buddy's place, or not? If not, it might be a little tougher to prove. Jesus, I really hate nosey old people with nothing better to do.
