The Rhode Island Supreme Court on Friday affirmed a $400,0000 award to a 68-year-old former handyman who sued over a penile implant that gave him a 10-year erection. The malfunctioning Dura-II caused the man pain and embarrassment and led him to become a recluse, according to his lawyer, who said, "He's not a whole person."

A former handyman has won more than $400,000 in a lawsuit over a penile implant that gave him a 10-year erection.
Charles “Chick” Lennon, 68, received the steel and plastic implant in 1996, about two years before Viagra went on the market. The Dura-II is designed to allow impotent men to position the penis upward for sex and then lower it.
