Connecticut chimp attack victim denied $150M lawsuit

A Connecticut woman disfigured by a friend’s pet chimpanzee was denied permission Friday to sue the state for $150 million because at the time of the attack, the law allowed private ownership of the animals. The state is immune to lawsuits unless they’re allowed by state Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr., who approved the state’s motion to dismiss Charla Nash’s claim.
