CBS affiliate KFMB-TV reports that on Thursday the jury found Petco was not negligent or liable in the death of Aidan Pankey on June 12, 2013, after he was rushed to a hospital with severe stomach pains.
The San Diego County medical examiner’s office ruled the cause of death was streptobacillus moniliformis infection, known as rat-bite fever, after exposure to an infected rat. Andrew Pankey, the boy’s father, then filed a lawsuit against Petco seeking $20 million in damages.

Is that anything like cat scratch fever?
Always after someone else's money in the lawsuit lottery. With the helpful encouragement of scumbag lawyers. Oops redundant description, sorry.
Buyer beware.
The judge did not side with anybody; he merely stated what the law was and how it applied to this case.
Buying a rat can come with consequences. Who would want one anyway?
On these sort of dubious lawsuits, does anyone other the me think that there's something just really, really wrong about trying to get money off of the death of a loved one?
In the urban community, having a family member die in ANY police situation is like winning the lottery.
I most certainly feel badly for the family... But will 20 million dollars take away the incredible pain of losing a beautiful child?
No, it's nothing like cat scratch fever.
That was Ted Nugent's original working title 'Rat Scratch Fever'
I agree with above....Who would buy their kid a rat????
You're quick.
