The Stone Detective
Continued from page 20
Now, like I always say in my seminars, those readings only tell you what’s happening right then and there. All sorts of things could’ve made the plaintiff slip.
As I was putting away my gear, I spotted a bunch of cameras pointing at the stairs. I turned and asked one of the hotel workers if they had any footage of the lady’s fall. They all looked at each other and shrugged. I suggested calling up security to check. A tall fella, looked like he could’ve played for the NBA, showed up after a while. I asked him the same questions, and he said, “Let’s check it out.”
We huddled in a room filled with screens. Luckily, we knew when the lady took her spill, so we could narrow it down. As we scanned through the footage, out of the blue, we saw our lady walking down that long hallway, moving fast, and she suddenly whipped out her phone, starting to text away. And just as she reached the top of the stairs, still glued to her phone, you can probably guess what happened next. She took a tumble down the steps.
I turned to the lawyer, grinning, and said, “Looks like she ain’t got much of a case.” He cracked a smile and said, “Good catch, my friend. And if that’s not enough, your slip-test data will provide the facts we need to get her law- suit thrown out of court.” Another case cracked.
