Not a criminal proceeding. Lower threshold for the plaintiff. They don’t have the prove beyond a reasonable doubt, just a preponderance of the evidence.
Where this gets sticky for the defense is the shooting report was never made public. I believe the Capital Police only released the result. Now they will have to give the plaintiffs the entire report to include interviews, forensics, and initial witness statements.
It could also open the door to prior planning by not only the Capital Police (and Pelosi’s involvement) relevant video prior to and just after, and the officer’s propensity to mis-handle firearms.
That’s why I think they won’t take the risk of discovery and offer a sizable settlement.
It would be nice if Aaron Babbitt gets a good settlement without going through a trial...
At a trial, Justice Department could bring up some bad incident involving Ashli Babbitt...
At one time, Ashli was married to somebody else...Aaron lived with another woman...Ashli and Aaron fell in love...Aaron's girlfriend called Ashli's husband...Then Ashli rammed that woman's car with her SUV...Ashli knocked on the window of that woman's car...She wanted to fight...
That woman's name is Celeste Norris...She even got a restraining order against Ashli...Norris got the money for the damage from Ashli's insurance company...
‘I Lived in Fear’: Woman Speaks Out About Time Ashli Babbitt Rammed SUV Into Her Car
I doubt that Aaron wants to sit through a trial while Justice Department lawyers are portraying his wife in a very negative way...
Do not misunderstand...There is nothing wrong with Aaron Babbitt filing a lawsuit...I just want to point out that it will be not easy...
interesting analysis
