Three years ago 10 people were killed and hundreds injured after a stampede on the opening night of Travis Scott's Astro World tour in Houston, that tragically continued while Travis was performing because he didn't realize what was happening [click here if you missed that].
Now a judge has ruled that Travis must face the jury for the civil lawsuits filed...
From Billboard
A Houston judge has denied Travis Scott’s motion to be dismissed from sprawling litigation over the 2021 disaster at the Astroworld music festival ahead of a looming jury trial next month.
Scott’s attorneys had argued that the star himself could not be held legally liable for the deadly crowd crush during his the November 2021 performance, which killed 10 and injured hundreds. They argued that safety and security at live events is “not the job of performing artists.”
But in a ruling made public on Wednesday, Judge Kristen Hawkins denied that motion, leaving Scott on the hook to face the first jury trial in the case, set to kick off next month. She offered no written rationale for her ruling, and attorneys for Scott did not return a request for comment.
