Sorry, but it won't be you or any of the others on this board.
It will be "city folk," presumably a bit more liberal, a bit more urbane.
It should not be dismissed by summary judgment, and should go to the jury.
What they'll do with it, nobody knows: always a crapshoot.
But the Mount's insurance company is looking at substantial exposure, no doubt about it.
The article I read did not say what his BA level was; I suspect it was way over the limit, in order for the findings of overserving to be accepted by the Mount's owners (why wouldn't they fight, and appeal? It will be used against them in the civil suit).
Dressed in torn jeans and a tie-dyed T-shirt at a costume party, the "hippie" deceased endured a long, strange trip (over the rail) indeed.
Should be interesting to see how this suit develops.
I bet the Mount's insurance company settles.
Ka-ching!
