[Humour] Lawyer reneges on bet...

[endless psych]

Someone perhaps should have thought a bit more about this.

Cheney Mason went on Dateline and offered a million dollars to anyone who could prove that his client, Nelson Ivan Serrano, was actually able to travel across two states and kill four people in the time that prosecutors had alleged.
A South Texas College of Law graduate, Dustin Kolodziej, saw the segment and decided to take Mason up on his dare. He retraced the route the prosecutors claim Serrano took, and came in under the time limit, videotaping his progress along the way.

He asked Mason for the money, but Mason has so far refused to pay up, alleging that the challenge was a joke or hyperbole.

Kolodziej doesn't think it's very funny, though, and he's asked the federal district court in Houston to order Mason to make with the cash

WBDO and UPI as alternative sources.

Technically speaking, it's not a bet, it's an advertisement. Hope the guy gets his money, fair play to him.

he should just get his client, the quadruple homicide defendant to whack the guy who wants the million. i mean, five murders can't attract a much worse sentence than four, and having that guy's video of how his earlier crimes were plausible out of the way couldn't hurt.

Since it seems to be Texas, it's probably a bullet to the back of the head anyway... so aye, not much to lose!

[Addy]

Hope he gets his money, you can't make a claim like that on national TV and then try and renege!

Guessing the guy didn't kill 4 people on the way, so he's not done -exactly- what was dared. Maybe.

[¡Punk!]

He coulda at least killed a few animals to prove his point. Epic Fail
