NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The parents of Gabby Petito have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the police department that responded to a domestic violence call, but failed to intervene and potentially save her life.
‘The purpose of this lawsuit is to honor Gabby’s legacy by demanding accountability and working toward systemic changes,’ stated James W McConkie, attorney for Petito’s parents Joseph Petito and Nicole Schmidt.
‘There are laws put in place to protect victims,’ Schmidt said. ‘And those laws were not followed. And we don’t want this to happen to anybody else.’
The plaintiffs are seeking $50,000,000 from the city of Moab, Utah due to negligence from police officers Eric Pratt and Daniel Robbins.
