Laundrie Family Lawyer Alleges Immunity from Petito Lawsuit in Surprising Move
Washington, DC (Feb 18, 2023) – The parents of Gabby Petito, a young girl who was tragically killed in a school shooting, have filed a lawsuit against the lawyer who represented the family of the shooter. The lawyer, Laundrie Family Lawyer, has asserted absolute immunity from the suit, arguing that their expression of hope and prayer for the Petito family was not reckless.
The Petito family is seeking damages for the emotional distress they have suffered since the shooting. They allege that the lawyer’s statement was reckless and showed a disregard for their feelings. The lawyer, however, has argued that their expression of hope and prayer was not reckless and that they are protected by absolute immunity.
The case is now being heard in the District Court of Washington, DC. The court will have to decide whether the lawyer’s statement was reckless and whether they are protected by absolute immunity. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for lawyers and their ability to express sympathy and condolences to victims of tragedy.
This case is a reminder of the importance of being mindful of the words we use when expressing sympathy and condolences. It is also a reminder of the power of the law to protect those who are accused of wrongdoing. No matter the outcome of this case, it is clear that the Petito family has suffered a great deal of emotional distress and that their pain should not be taken lightly. – Wasatch Defense Lawyers does not represent any parties mentioned above, nor is it our intent to represent any of the parties.
