UPDATE: Death Threats And Legal Obstacles – Lawyer Withdraws $100M Newtown Lawsuit

[sheshe2]

As was stated in our earlier report, a Sandy Hook family whose child survived the massacre but was present at the school during the shooting, apparently approached Pinsky in the week following the shooting to take their case. Pinsky, a controversial character who is pictured on his Facebook page in front of a van emblazoned with garish signs advertising his law practice, quickly filed against the state of Connecticut for $100 million. The move drew the ire of many, some of whom saw it as an ill-timed money-grab:


“The groundswell of negative response has compelled at least one person to open a Facebook page called “Irv Pinsky is a Greedy Scumbag,” which is already accruing some fans.” [Source]

or…

“Irv, I always knew you are a bit wacky and enjoy the spot light (sic) but you have gone too far with suing CT over Newtown. You don’t have a horse in the race and you are nothing but an opportunist seeking notoriety using dead children.” [Source]

1. A case belongs to the plaintiff, not the lawyer. If the

case was withdrawn, the plaintiff withdrew it. It the plaintiff hadn't wished to withdraw it, all the lawyer could do is ask the court's permission (in most states) to withdraw from the case.

2. I suspect some of the neighbors had a few thoughts to share with the plaintiffs.

Bankrupting the local school system is not going to help heal the wounds.

3. I agree with you.

4. The plaintiffs should be blamed, not the attorney

*It's THEIR case (or rather, was), not the attorney's.

5. An ethical attorney

needs to tell a client that he/she won't take their case, if it's wrong in every possible way. This guy was all over the local news, trying to make a name for himself as a champion ambulance chaser.

6. IT is still the plaimtiffs' case

7. Well, the way the supposed 'victim'

of the school district was anonymous, and the way this mouthpiece was all over the TV, forgive me for being confused.
