What goes around comes around

A lawyer in the US purchased a very expencive box of 20 cuban cigars. So expencive were they that he insured them.
Some time later the lawyer then proceeded to smoke his 20 cigars.
After the last one was finished he filed a claim with the insurance company for fire damage to the cigars caused by him smoking them. Of course the insurance company did not pay.
The lawyer then took the insurance company to court and won his case, forcing the insurance company to pay up.
The insurance company were understandably unhappy about this but decided not to file an appeal against the decision.
Instead they took a procecution action against the lawyer, procecuting him for 20 individual acts of arson.
The lawyer is now serving 2 years in prison.

Justice at its best.
