 MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - A jury took two hours Thursday to reject a widow's claim that her husband's death resulted from an injury he suffered while ducking a piece of flying shrimp at a Benihana steakhouse.
The family of Jerry Colaitis, 47, had sought $10 million from the Japanese steakhouse chain, accusing it of direct responsibility for his death in 2001. Benihana chefs are famous for their fast and furious knives and food-tossing stunts.
The lawsuit claimed the Long Island furrier wrenched his neck after a chef tossed a piece of shrimp at a family birthday party.
