Lyft Driver’s New Trial Push | Boise News

A former Lyft driver convicted of kidnapping and rape is seeking a new trial, with a hearing set for October 29th. Meanwhile, the victim has filed a civil suit against Lyft, accusing the company of failing to properly vet, train, or monitor drivers—and not implementing enough safety measures. The victim’s legal team says the injuries are severe and lifelong, impacting health and daily life, and seeks damages to be decided by a jury. Majzoub’s defense hinted the civil case may be motivated by financial gain, though the two cases—criminal and civil—are legally separate. Majzoub’s sentencing is scheduled for November 4th, pending the outcome of his new trial motion. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
