One of the positives about being a journalist is the opportunity to cover a fun story. That time came recently when Tim covered a trial that could have cracked the court system over the way lawsuits handled. The jury's decision could've have fried the defendant.

Here's Tim's story for the Omaha Daily Record on the mock trial of Humpty Dumpty vs Shawn King.
