Update on the Wal-Mart stampede

Remember a few days ago where a woman was apparently stampeded while waiting in line for a $29 DVD player at Wal-Mart? Well, all is not as it seems. Several eye-witnesses to the event dispute key elements of her testimony, denying a bell-ringing, a stampede, and that she was trampled by other customers. Not only that, but it turns out that this woman and her sister have filed dozens of injury claims against retailers, including nine against Wal-Mart itself, of which the woman in question is a former employee. The story can be found here.
