2020-2021

2020-2021 Season

This is our 10th full season of competition.

Civil Case – Casey Soto and Genesis Petrillo had planned their wedding for June 8, 2019 at Peony Estates, a winery and bed & breakfast owned and operated by Casey’s parent, Harper Martini. During the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, Harper presented Genesis with a bottle of wine, which Genesis drank. After drinking the wine, Genesis died, and a toxicology report revealed the presence of pesticides in Genesis’ system. Genesis’ estate has sued Harper Martini and Peony Estates for battery and negligence per se.

NCT Case – Tray Westenmeier, tenant, has filed a complaint against Kiran Walton, landlord, for breach of the implied warranty of habitability due to a bed bug infestation at the Lakeside Apartments and is seeking actual and punitive damages. The matter is scheduled for a jury trial in the Midlands Center Court of Common Pleas.
