A lawyer at the center of a landmark settlement against Remington has turned his attention to the manufacturer of the gun used in the Uvalde school shooting.
A lawyer at the center of a landmark settlement against Remington, the manufacturer of the gun used in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, has turned his attention to the manufacturer of the gun used in the Uvalde school shooting.
Alfred Garza III, father of Amerie Jo Garza, released the letter alongside Texas attorney Mikal Watts and Connecticut attorney Josh Koskoff. Koskoff and his team helped negotiate a $73 million settlement in the wake of a lawsuit against the now-defunct Remington and its insurer, the maker of the AR-15 used in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
Daniel Defense, the Georgia-based maker of the DDM4 v7 AR-style rifle has been the subject of scrutiny since the shooting for its marketing materials and availability to the 18-year-old shooter in Texas. The letter could be a precursor to a lawsuit, but gun manufacturers are broadly insulated from litigation by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. President Joe Biden promised to attempt to repeal the law before he was elected.
