From the Las Vegas Sun: Connecticut's attorney general says he sympathizes with families affected by the deadly Newtown school shooting but the state isn't liable for the harm inflicted.
Attorney General George Jepson responded Monday to a New Haven attorney's request to the state claims commissioner last week to sue the state for $100 million on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor.
Jepson says people affected "deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination" of the tragedy and appropriate public policy responses. But he says the claims commissioner's office isn't the appropriate venue.
Attorney Irving Pinksy says his request is about school safety. He says his client sustained "emotional and psychological trauma and injury" on Dec. 14 after a gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 children and six adults and then killed himself. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/dec/31/us-school-shooting-legal-claim/
This is the correct decision by the Connecticut's Attorney General. This sleazy lawyer, looking attention and the family are just despicable and they should be ashamed of themselves. There were some families that truly had losses, both financial and personal and this family and lawyer just mocks the people suffering in Sandy Hook.
The lawyer, Irving Pinksy ought to be disbarred from being a lawyer.
