Da Judge's Ruling:After listening to all of the testimony (using that term loosely, of course), the court has arrived at a final verdict.
The court (after due deliberation) has determined that Mr. Ron Contarino has no actionable claim against the defendant, Mr. Gary Cassara.
In-depth investigation of the pictures provided by Mr. Ron Contarino has revealed that, contrary to prior claims, these were rental skis and? NOT Ron's skis.? Therefore, any claims for damages real or imagined would have to be placed by the ski rental agency.? Also, it is likely that any damages to said skis would actually be filed against Mr. Contarino, since the contract with the rental agency is only between said Agency and Mr. Contarino.
Additionally, no evidence of any yellow tint is visible in the ice mass of the skis placed in evidence, and alternate explanations are probable.? It is likely, in fact, that Gary was skiing so fast that he overheated the ski topsheets due to friction caused by a lack of topsheet wax that Mr. Cassara routinely applies to his own skis, and when he paused briefly (for whatever reason) the over heated skis initially melted some snow and that water was then frozen to the ski as the skis cooled.? This explanation would seem to be more in keeping with the color of the frozen liquid displayed on the right foot.
So, in the greatest tradition of the current United States court system,
the Court finds Mr. Cassara
innocent of all wrongdoing, and
completely not responsible for his own actions.
Additionally, the Court finds Mr. Contarino guilty of malfeasance in
allowing Gary to pee on the rental agency skis that were entrusted to Mr. Contarino's care.
Note: I have no idea what malfeasance is, it just sounded like a legal word.
