Dominica Juliano was 12 when she and her grandmother entered the Country Fair store in Erie in June 2004. A clerk allegedly called the girl "grumpy" before flashing his hand-held bar code scanner over her face and telling her to smile.
Attorneys for Juliano and her guardian say the girl was sensitive to light and burned, and later developed post-traumatic stress and Tourette's syndrome.
An attorney for the store says the scanner uses a harmless LED light and that the child had serious health problems before the incident. The trial began on Monday.

Some people will sue over anything.
If she claimed to have tourette's she could also have its sibling disease coprolalia which leaves the sufferer swearing involuntarily or generally saying socially inappropriate things. I did see a documentary where a gent suffering from it shouted out in church "I'm a lesbian! I'm king of the fucking lesbians". Man, I wish I were king of the lesbians.
