Mr. Hall's Intro to Law class was holding court last week! The objective was to determine if Alex was liable for the death of Jimmy. Alex hosted a MMA event at his warehouse where Jimmy's body was found dead in the parking lot. While the killer runs free in the dangerous streets of Scarborough, did Alex provide sufficient safety measures at his event?!? After careful deliberation the jury ultimately decided that Alex was liable. Congrats to the Plaintiff! 🧑🏻⚖️
