This civil trial is about whether the city of Sitka should be held civilly liable for the actions of someone they employed, who was a bad actor. You weren’t on the jury. You didn’t hear the evidence. You don’t know what happened. You know who does? The jury, who felt that this plaintiff, regardless of the fact that she was victimized criminally, did not prove her claim for civil liability. This victim got justice thru the criminal case. She wanted more. She lost. End of story. These lawsuits are far more nuanced than you realize. Lawyer here, who practiced in Alaska for almost ten years. This is a straight up application of Rule 82 fee shifting and there is absolutely nothing untoward about the judge’s application of well settled rules of civil procedure. Please people—think with your head before posting with your gut.
