A group of timeshare owners successfully bring a class-action lawsuit against a timeshare salesman for all the timeshares he deceptively sold them.
The jury found for the plaintiffs and ruled that the salesman had to buy back all the timeshares he sold them and pay an additional 5% restitution fee. The judge then said to the jury, "I'm surprised that you gave such a harsh sentence!" Then she said to the salesman, "I am reversing what the jury ordered. you do not have to pay back anything and the plaintiffs have to reimburse you for your legal fees and time. You are free to go."
The salesman starts walking away pumping his fists in the air joyfully while smirking at all the plaintiffs. The judge then yells, "Bailiff, seize that man and bring him back here!"
The judge then says to the sales man, "Not only am I going to uphold the jury's original decision, I am ordering you to pay 10% restitution to the plaintiffs and you will spend six months in jail."
The sales man then says, "But Your Honor, you just said that I was free to go and was going to get reimbursed. I was getting ready to celebrate."
The judge then said, "Well, now you know what it feels like to be lied to."
