Suspicion. It is the stuff of great movies. We could name just about any Hitchcock movie here, but why not go with the aptly titled Suspicion starring Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine (who by the way won the Best Lead Actress Oscar for her role in this film). After a chance meeting on a train, Johnnie Aysgarth, reckless gambler and playboy, and Lina McLaidlaw, shy heiress, have a whirlwind romance and are married. It is only after the honeymoon that Lina discovers her new husband’s true character and she starts to become suspicious that he is a murderer and she is his next intended victim. Cue eerie music.
It is also the stuff of great songs. And here we could quote any of a number of country hits about cheating spouses and double-crossing gamblers. But, again, why not go straight for the most obvious. Suspicious Minds was Elvis Presley’s seventeenth and last number one hit single. Written and originally recorded by Mark James (who also wrote Grammy-winning “Always on My Mind”), the song is about two people whose suspicions of one another are ruining their relationship.
Which brings us to today’s case – Messina v. Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 153392 (W.D. Pa. Dec. 30, 2011) -- which is all about suspicions. While we typically don’t spend much time on statute of limitations cases, we liked the message of this case which is rooted less in state law and more in general common sense.
