Relatives of a man who was accidentally shot and killed by a friend at a 2011 house party may bring a wrongful death suit against the friend and his gun-owning father, but they may not seek punitive damages, a state judge has determined.
Supreme Court Justice Elaine Slobod (See Profile) in Orange County declined the request from defendants Kevin Canty and Sean Canty to dismiss the wrongful death action, holding that their culpability in the death of Fredy Hahn is a matter for a jury to decide.
