Houck Freed After Pipe Debate in La Crosse Court
A three minute jury verdict cleared Dr. Houck of any damages against the city of La Crosse and Thill and Lapitz over a December Avon street runaway. A dog, not a sewer pipe, triggered the incident and the pipe may have prevented greater injuries by keeping the sleigh from hitting the curb. Attorneys clashed as Paul W. Mahoney and George Bunge traded sharp exchanges, with fists flourished but no injuries.
