Lawsuit claims Brian Laundrie's parents knew about Gabby Petito's murder

I've never seen a complaint like this - I'm not even sure I 100% know the cause of action.

ETA: I'm a California barred attorney. In our complaints, there are causes of action with elements pleaded. I don't know what FL requirements are for pleading.

 

[Kristin Esq.]

Bertolino made a statement to JB:

He stated that his clients had no obligation to speak to anyone and that the Petitos claims are baseless.

JB reached out to Bertolino and he texted JB saying "no comment."

SBM- What's wrong Berolino? Cat got your tongue? Dude couldn't keep his mouth shut. I'm sure it won't last

So are the Aug. 29th hitchhiking stories still in play? Because if we go by this complaint's timeline, BL told his parents he killed GP on the 28th, which means he went on to hike for at least another whole day before he headed home to FL.

Replying to myself, haha.

I went to the court website. I see that this is a pleading for Negligence on the Civil Case Cover Sheet.

Do they have any legal foothold? Anyone know if there is precedent for a trial of mental suffering and anguish? Of course they would have gotten legal advice… I’m wondering if even if they were informed it would not go to trial their motive may be that they get to make a strong statement about the suffering that the Laundries put them through.

Per the summons, once served, they have 20 days to respond.

To establish negligence under Florida law, a plaintiff must demonstrate the following elements: i) the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty; ii) the defendant breached the duty owed to the plaintiff; iii) the defendant’s breach was a direct cause of the plaintiff’s injury; and iv) the plaintiff’s suffered measurable damages as a result.

Would the P or S families, or their attorney, have access to all the digital evidence that the FBI had in their investigation? Why was GP's exact date of death not listed in that final FBI release?

I will just say what is on my mind right now.
I'm not surprised by this civil suit at all.
IMO, more 'negligent' claims will be coming.
RIP Gabby

I'm surprised there's not a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

I don’t like it. I’ve always thought that Brian blocked Gabby’s parents numbers on his parents phones. That’s what I would do if I were in his shoes. How could they possibly know when/if Brian revealed he murdered Gabby? From everything we know, there is no evidence that they were trying to assist him in leaving the country. If they were, why would he have blown his brains out in the park? After people tormented the Laundries for months on end, I’m not thrilled this is being stirred up again. I probably sound heartless regarding Gabby’s parents, I don’t mean to. I think the Laundries made several mistakes but not what they are being accused of. We shall see. IMO

 

[NervousNellie]

This is sad. I am not a fan of the Laundrie parental units, but this case is absurd, IMO. There are a lot of "it's believed" in the filing. <modsnip>

These are just allegations, so you're right that we haven't seen any evidence. But usually an attorney will not bring a case and make an allegation without having something to back it up. moo.

This is how a complaint is plead - that is normal language.

I feel the opposite. After all the support that I've seen here for a murderer and his family who assisted him, I'm thrilled that the victims family will finally get their day in court, and I hope that they get everything that they deserve in compensation.

JB did say there was another document that said the family had requested a jury trial. He figured that might indicate there was decent evidence to these allegations. That's why I'm curious if the family and their attorney have access to the same digital evidence the FBI did.
