Civil Lawsuit
Jury’s Verdict in Bridal Brawl case
both parties, defendants, and the owner of the shop were fighting. There is no clear indicator who was assaulted in the fight, since the defendants also claimed to be the victims. The reason the defendants were in the bridal shop in the first place was due to a phone call by the bride. According to the defendants, the shop owner and his family were the ones assaulting the bride. The assault charge can thus go either way, with the defendants attacked for defending their relative, who is the bride. This could have made the court to dismiss the charges.
Civil Suit
The shop owner can file for a civil suit for damages to his body and his shop. The shop owner and his son had several fractures and they had to seek medical treatment. The shop owner can claim for body damage after the three men attacked him and his son (Goguen). Since the fighting was taking place at the owner’s shop, he can file for property loss, which amounted to more than $20, 000. Since the bride called the three men, their intention in coming to the shop would lead to the destruction of property. The video has enough proof of damages to the shop after the fight. The fact that the police had been called before to order the bride to pay money for the dress or leave the wedding dress is a clear indication that the bride is not an ethical and respectable person. Calling the defendants would thus result in a confrontation, which in reality led to the loss of property.
