Des Moines Strip Club Death Case Goes to Jury

A wrongful death case brought against Midwest Hospitality Investments, a conglomerate that controls the Des Moines, Iowa exotic dance establishment, The Lumberyard, has moved into the jury selection phase. In 2006, 27-year-old Luca Pasa was stabbed to death in the club.

A subsequent wrongful death case brought by his girlfriend (also the mother of his 4-year-old son) contends that club personnel bore some of the responsibility for the attack, as they failed to confiscate a knife from Erik Gilge, the patron who murdered Pasa. Once the jury has been seated, lawyers expect for the presentation of the case to be concluded within several weeks’ time.

Florida Man Injured in McDonald’s Stickup Attempt Files Suit

John Mario, 59, was shot in the head during an aborted robbery attempt at a Port St. Lucie, Florida McDonald’s in early 2006.

In a struggle for the gun, the weapon discharged, resulting in a serious head wound.
