Section::::"Bodine v. Enterprise High School". Around 1 A.M. on March 1, 1982, 18-year-old Rick Earl Bodine and three others trespassed on the roof of Enterprise High School, allegedly to steal spotlights off the roof. After handing down one of the spotlights, Bodine reportedly walked across to take a second spotlight, but in the dark and rain, he fell through a painted-over skylight; the trespassers called an ambulance. Brain damage from the 27-foot fall initially left Bodine mute and quadriplegic. The state declined to prosecute Bodine , viewing that the injuries were more than sufficient punishment. Bodine's attorney, Al Naphan, sued the school district, arguing the district was negligent; a similar incident had occurred at the district's Shasta High School on June 6, 1981, killing Paul Andrew Schurr. Judge Joseph Redmon ruled that criminal conduct would not bar Bodine from suing or collecting. The district's insurance company settled the case for $260,000 up front plus $1,500 per month for the rest of Bodine's life. The Bodine case was referenced by California assemblyman Alister McAlister during his campaign for AB200; while a  similar bill (AB2800) had been rejected in the previous session, AB200 was signed into law on October 2, 1985. Statute 847 of the California Civil Code currently states: A 1986 ad in support of Proposition 51, also featuring McAlister, started with the line "Attempting to steal from a school, a burglar falls through a gymnasium skylight and sues the school for his injuries." A fictional case similar to "Bodine" is mentioned in the 1997 film "Liar Liar"; in 2012, former Arizona Senate president Russell Pearce cited the fictional lawsuit while campaigning for the Crime Victims Protection Act Amendment.
