There is no evidence in the record to justify any such assertion. Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the jury finds for Mrs. Denmark.
From the story:
"Logan opened the sliding door of the van but was shot before getting inside"
Get real. Do you think he was planning to *ask* her for permission to get into her van?
He was armed with a deadly weapon that he had just used to commit multiple forcible felonies. Now he was about to commit additional forcible felonies against a mindless blissninny that had neither the strategic not tactical common sense to protect herself.
She was probably yakking in her cellphone when the perp tried to carjack and kidnap her.
She'll wind up suing the store because they have the money. Remember, she's a victim so she deserves to win the lottery.
You sound like an attorney. I'm not, so I'll speak as a member of the jury.
From what I've read here (not the whole story of course) I'd give Beck the benefit of the doubt.If I had the power, I'd also instruct Denmark to thank Beck for saving her from the perp.
