This is something I think I might like to try. Lance Stelzer, a twice-divorced Jewish lawyer and single dad in Miami, was down on his luck. He was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder. Then his girlfriend left him, while he was sick, for another man. So, he sued her.
The Miami New Times has some choice details. Here’s what Lance requested in discovery:
“Each and every page of your ‘journal’ which mentions, references, or contains name Lance R. Stelzer.”
“Copies of all photographs … which portray you dressed (fully or partially) in red negligee.”
“The full name and current address of your mother, sister, and new boyfriend’s mother.”
And these are the interrogatory questions:
“In your opinion, is it ever really right to abandon your best friend when he or she is undergoing horrible cancer treatment and is suffering major complications from the treatment?”
“Did you, in 2004, provide pornographic pictures of yourself and pornographic ’scenarios’ … to Lance Stelzer? If so, please state why you did this.”
“What was the last date upon which you loved Lance Stelzer? (Note: If you cannot give an exact date, please state your best approximation.)”
The full story is well worth reading.
