Jury selection in Dallas Super Bowl ice suit

[TexasTowelie]

DALLAS (AP) — Jury selection has started in the trial of a lawsuit filed by a worker injured by ice and snow falling from the roof of Cowboys Stadium during the week before the 2011 Super Bowl.

Severin Sampson contends he suffered a skull fracture and has continuing medical problems.

Sampson's attorney accuses the Cowboys and the stadium architects of failing to account for the possibility of falling ice and snow from the roof. At least six people were hurt on the Friday before the Super Bowl three years ago.

Attorneys Monday sparred over whether Sampson's positive test for marijuana the same day as the accident was relevant. State District Judge Jim Jordan said he would allow the test result. The judge also rejected a subpoena request for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

1. So the guy's smoking weed two weeks before the accident is what caused the ice to fall?

Yeah, that makes sense.

2. I see we're still trying to play the reefer madness game.

Do they think the ice was drawn to the guy bc they sensed that it was in his system?
