"The dealer and manufacturer of the rifle used by the Washington-area snipers will pay $2.5 million to the families of six victims and to two surviving victims under a settlement approved Friday by a Washington state judge."
"The settlement, reached in September, marked the first time a gun manufacturer paid damages for negligence that led to violence, said David Beninger, one of the attorneys representing the families."
"Washington state Superior Judge Frank Cuthbertson signed the settlement agreement, which will be divided among the eight plaintiffs. The amount to be received by each is still to be determined, said Daniel R. Vice, an attorney with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
