Now it's time to play Case or No Case.
January 1996 when a car carrying two teenagers crashed outside the California home of Thomas and his wife, Jean.
The car flipped over and caught fire.
The driver escaped.
But 16-year-old Colin Speck remained trapped inside, upside down, held by his seatbelt.
Smoke was filling the cabin of the car.
Jean ran out to the car.
She could not open the door.
She called 911 and shouted for Thomas, Bring a sledgehammer! He did, and smashed through the window.
The breaking glass provided fresh oxygen for the fire, and the flames took off.
Still, Thomas reached inside and pulled Colin from the burning wreck.
His clothes were on fire, so those nearby rolled him across the street to put out the flames.
It was a risky decision because of the danger to his person and the fact that he could have hurt the victim worse.
The victim survived, but his injuries were severe.
and they said made worse by the actions of Thomas and Jean and their friends.
More than 30% of his body was burned.
He suffered a collapsed lung, 12 broken bones.
He spent five months in the hospital, endured painful skin grafts, had to learn to walk again.
Thomas and Jean rarely speak about this situation and did not until a lawyer was consulted.
You see, the victim was thankful to be alive, but wondered if he shouldn't be compensated for the worst injuries he received because of their actions.
Yes, Todd Kuhner, and he wanted to know if he had a case or no case against Thomas and Jean, who literally saved his life.
