Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
A
jury has convicted a mother and her son in a case involving a mouse found in a bowl of soup at a Cracker Barrel Old
Country Store in Newport News, Va. Carla Patterson and her two sons were eating at the Cracker Barrel in Newport News when Mrs. Patterson says she found a dead mouse in her bowl of vegetable soup. An extensive investigation, including laboratory tests, revealed that the mouse was placed in the soup after it was brought to the table.
The Pattersons were convicted of conspiracy to commit extortion. It seems after the incident they demanded $500,000 from Cracker Barrel in exchange for photographs of the mouse, which Ricky Patterson took with his cell phone during the meal, and for a public confession that Ricky Patterson planted the mouse in the soup as a practical joke.
