Update: restaurant dropped from Josh Hancock suit

St. Louis: “The family of late Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock dropped a wrongful-death lawsuit against Mike Shannon’s restaurant stemming from the player’s death in April.” The family and its lawyers had been widely criticized (May 24, May 29, etc.) for the breadth of the net they cast in their lawsuit, including the driver and owner of the tow truck into which Hancock smashed, and “the driver of a disabled car on the highway whom the tow truck driver had stopped to help”. (”Shannon’s restaurant dropped from wrongful-death lawsuit”, ESPN, Jun. 30).

    If I were a Plaintiff’s lawyer the bar serving him the alcohol would be the last party I’d dismiss, not the first. Of course, I would never have taken the case.
