Kilroy's may also have done their job and asked that she leave; I think their actions would be part of the discovery process. Either side can request a jury or both sides can waive it, so not sure who that may benefit. In reality, I wonder if this case might be settled with just a meeting between the Spierers and each of the defendants, to try and get the answers that they want.
BBM That's wishful thinking, if only.
IMO, I think Kilroy's did what they have proven to have done in the past: serve underage people, get them drunk, then throw them out.
The "witnesses" from Kilroy's, mainly employees who had alot to lose
both possibly getting fired and causing someone to end up dead/missing--are the very ones who started the drug rumors--that Lauren was admitting to
being on two or three different drugs. And of course they will back each other up. I don't believe Lauren was telling them how many different drugs she was on.
The Spierers' probably aren't going after Kilroy's because they want the end result, not the beginning, and to pinpoint and focus on that. Kilroy's would turn the whole thing into a circus. They are basically saying, "oops, we made a mistake and served a minor, but then when she said she was on all these drugs, we did the right thing and kicked her out." BS!! How about this: it was 2:30, closing time, and after serving a minor and getting her drunk, not one drink but several, you told her to leave. Like they tell everyone to leave. And everyone's drunk. Business as usual.
I'll say it again. Kilroy's closed down for "remodelling" right after rumors, both from customers and employees, started about Lauren being in there that evening. They will say it was schedulled, but how convenient that no one was around to contradict what they said.
A while back, I think it was on PT, we calculated how much
EXTRA money a bar like that makes when they serve those 1 or 2 drinks that put someone over the limit, not just over the limit, we were being generous, but getting them really drunk--and I think we came up with over 1 mil per month, they have several locations, ya know.
Since Kilroy's is privately owned, really now, how much money does one need? The staggering, heinous greed of these people has no end. From time to time, they get raided and LE is never empty handed when it comes to minors. Where was their public apology? Instead, those greedy pigs blamed the victim. Even if they aren't getting closed down for this, they should be.
