Three individuals in Darlington County, South Carolina, simultaneously filed insurance claims, with the same company, for benefits as a result of being relived of all four limbs.
From ‘Lowering the Bar‘
This particular case was prosecuted in Darlington County (near the city of Florence). Because the three men named were prosecuted together in the same county, I assume they were all involved in a single scheme. Because two had the same last name, and all three had the same level of intelligence, I assume they were all related. Sadly, we have to assume these things because the report offers few details about the case. Just the basic facts, which to be honest are really pretty straightforward:
Brailey and his two co-defendants each claimed to have all 4 limbs amputated…. Investigation revealed that all their limbs were intact.
So basically it’s a simple case involving a discrepancy between the number of limbs claimed to be missing and the number that are actually missing. It’s not the first such case. It’s just that here the discrepancy happens to be 12.
Similar cognitive gymnastics are a staple at the NH AG’s office when deciding matters of ‘domicile.’
