Bridge Collapse Trial Delayed

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse trial’s been postponed indefinitely as most lawsuits settle last minute — frustrating Judge Bredar, who’s tired of the back-and-forth. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors just indicted the Dali ship’s operators on serious charges including conspiracy and misconduct causing death, which the companies fiercely deny, calling it an accident. A $2.25 billion settlement between Maryland and the ship’s owners already happened earlier this year — before the criminal charges. Now, the remaining civil cases, mostly involving local businesses and governments seeking economic damages, are on hold as the judge weighs legal arguments and hopes for more settlements to avoid a full trial. This messy, high-stakes legal saga shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
