re: People finally get punished for a frivolous lawsuit

Negligent security isn't some farfetched theory of liability. It made it past summary judgment and got to a jury. Jury trials are a crapshoot. Also, I wouldn't call losing a jury trial on catastrophic damages claims, when the defendant was offering decent money, would make a case "frivolous". They made a calculated risk and lost.

Cinemark piling on to the paralyzed victim of a shooting on their property seems a bit much from a PR standpoint, but it's their right to collect fees.
