'Brilliant lawyering': how Sandy Hook families landed a rare victory in court

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Lawyers didn't want the case. The odds were historically long. So how did the families of victims in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre land a $73 million settlement with companies that insured Remington Arms, the manufacturer of the gun used in the shooting? "Brilliant lawyering," says Saint Joseph's University's Dr. Susan Liebell. From strategy to circumstances, she breaks down the factors behind a rare victory for gun control advocates. But if you think this decision could set a new legal precedent for gun regulation moving forward, Liebell suggests tempering your expectations.
