Are carrots really good for your eyes? (see background)

Voided

This is a tough call--your market question is really creative, but it's really the question posed in the background information that people should make predictions on. I think your question "Will Pamela succeed..." should be incorporated in the market question. I'm really sorry, but could you resubmit the market and make that edit? Thanks so much.

Background:

http://www.newstimes.com/ci_9038097?source=most_viewed
Pamela Vecsey is suing her husband, Roderick, because, she says, he threw a carrot at her during an argument, poking out her left eye.
Roderick Vecsey was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct. The charges against him were later dropped after his wife refused to cooperate with her husband's prosecution, contending the incident had been an accident.
Will Pamela prevail in her civil suit by being awarded any monetary damages as a result of this admitted accident?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source or
http://www.newstimes.com/
Lack of news of an outcome by 7-23-08 equals "NO". Lawsuit filed 4-23-08. 90 days should be sufficient.
Any out of court settlement or pre-trial agreement equates to "No".
Only a court ordered monetary judgement will be considered a "Yes".

This question has absolutely NO relevance to either the BG or the settlement...it reads like a national enquirer headline... this is a prime example of a question that will get little attention, because it's poorly constructed and misleading....it is not good, i hate it, i hope to see better questions...
