I Sued My Sister For A Crime She Committed As A Child - Summary

Summary

The video is a humorous account of a sibling rivalry between Max and Talitha Fosh, who decide to settle their dispute over a past incident by suing each other in court. The incident in question occurred in 2001, when Max claims that Talitha pushed him into a wall, causing him to lose two front teeth. Talitha, however, insists that Max tripped.

Max hires lawyers to represent him and his sister, and they gather evidence for the case. However, Max's father, Matthew, provides a deposition stating that they were not going to their grandmother's house, but to a weekend away with friends in Cambridge. This information throws Max's claim into doubt, causing his lawyers to argue that they cannot rely on Max's memory of events as fact.

During Talitha's cross-examination, it is revealed that she has a history of hurting Max, including scratching him in response to him breaking something of hers. Talitha denies this, claiming that it was an accident.

The jury deliberates and eventually returns a verdict, finding Talitha not guilty. Max, although disappointed, appreciates the opportunity for Talitha to clear her name. After the trial, a courtroom sketch artist draws them, and Max gives the drawing to Talitha as an apology for taking her to court.
