Decided on October 17, 2011, Supreme Court, Kings County, 2011 NY Slip Op 51831(U),
Jesus Taveras, AS ASSIGNEE OF THE RIGHTS OF MUHAMMAD A. AMIR, Plaintiff,
against
American Transit Insurance Company, EDWARD T. McGETTIGAN, JR., RALPH A. BISCEGLIA, RICHARD T. CARROLL, STEVEN HAMILL, RICK PERSAUD AND IRIS HERNANDEZ, Defendants.
In this insurance bad faith action the conduct of defendant AMERICAN TRANSIT
INSURANCE COMPANY (AT) reminds the Court of the testimony given by Jack Nicholson's character, Marine Colonel Nathan Jessup, in the 1991 film, A Few Good Men. When examined by a defense attorney, the Tom Cruise character, Navy Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, about whether Colonel Jessup ordered the hazing of a Marine, which went awry, at the Guantanamo Bay Naval [*2]Base, the lawyer and witness had the following colloquy:
Col. Jessup:You want answers?
Lt. Kaffee:I think I'm entitled to them.
Col. Jessup:You want answers?
Lt. Kaffee:I want the truth!
Col. Jessup:You can't handle the truth!
Defendant AT, in the instant action, refuses not only to acknowledge the truth, but to handle the truth!
