The estate of a 13-year-old boy who was killed at a sleepover in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is suing the grocery store chain Publix, for selling the knife that killed Jovanni Sierra.
Sierra’s estate said Publix illegally sold a knife to Corey Johnson, the teen who is charged in Sierra’s death. Johnson was 17 at the time and is now 19. He was charged as an adult, WPTV reported.
Police said Johnson admitted to stabbing the victims citing his Muslim faith. The FBI was watching him for more than a year and police said he was studying ISIS and the Quran
LaBovick Law Group is representing Sierra’s estate and filed the suit.

The lawyers said Publix broke the law by selling a weapon to someone under 18. Knives are considered a weapon.
In the suit, lawyers contend “Publix is fully responsible for the damages caused by their illegal knife sale and could be responsible for punitive damages if their conduct rises to the level of intentional disregard of Florida law,” WPTV reported.
Elaine Simon and her son, Dane Bancroft, were also injured in the attack, WPEC reported.
WPTV and WPEC reported that Publix released a statement to local media saying, “It would be inappropriate for us to comment on pending litigation.”

Are baseball bats and hammers next for attorney's? Statically, those two items are deadlier killers than MSR's.

Time to start registering your bricks:

Lennie: lawyers - don't get ME started!
This is sad - the never ending search for "deep pockets" to be extorted by "lawyers"!
Sheesh.

There are some upstanding and ethical attorneys out there, but they seem to be outnumbered by the creepy porn lawyer types.

And even more gut wrenching is that most politicians are attorneys. And, I feel, they went into politics for the love of filthy lucre rather than love of country.

It's okay to be a killer. But it's not okay to sell them items that might be used for murder.

And more to the point those items might even be very functional items in everyday use...

This silliness isn’t going anywhere. The family should sue the local mosque. 😜
