OFF THE WIRE
The TRUTH behind this story is as follows:
We received
what we thought to be credible information from a plaintiff in this
case. This plaintiff was under the impression that the plaintiffs
(bikers) had been awarded a judgement. This was followed by numerous
emails verifying this information solely with the plaintiff, not from
others involved, such as the attorneys in the case. This individual was
under the impression that the judgement was in favor of those being
denied access.
We had the following exchange:
MN COC Member: WE WON THE ROCHESTER CASE!
MN
COC Member: First access denial we took to trial. We have 7 more bars
that we documented the same way work video and the intention is to move
down the line and hit them all. The lawyer is doing it for free.
Double D: Judgement amount or any copy?
MN COC Member:
Double D: Nice. Thanks! Is that $327 a piece?
MN COC Member: Yup!
After
it was brought to our attention on Facebook, that the Debtors in the
case are in fact the plaintiffs (bikers), which we SHOULD have noticed,
it prompted communication with the Plaintiff’s Counsel Robert V. Jones.
It was determined that in fact the case was dismissed based on
insufficient discovery provided by plaintiffs. Legends bar and grill was
awarded $327 in court fees.
Though the MPP has
historically made every attempt to verify all sources regarding
information before it is considered “credible” it appears we have failed
in this instance. We deeply regret any misleading information we may
have put out due to trust levels with our sources. Rest assured, our
efforts towards verification will double and we will always be
straight-forward and humble in terms of responsibly retracting
information that is discovered to be inaccurate.
Thank you all for your valuable time and consideration.
