I just read at WoV where, a decision is in on the Justin Mills vs Maryland live, illegal detention/false imprisonment case. For anyone unfamiliar Justin Mills, a card counter, was illegally detained by Maryland Live and then the local police.
Congrats to Justin and Attorney Bob Nersesian. It certainly seemed like a open and shut case with Maryland Live providing the video needed as evidence, but you just never know if justice will actually be served. In this case it was. In addition to the damaging video provided by Maryland Live, Justin was clearly an invited guest. They sent a limo to pick him up.The award amount ill be determined by a jury, but based on similar cases I would expect no less than 6 figures. I hope the jury really punishes Maryland live.
In addition, and this is the best part, the judge found that the two police officers involved acted on behalf of Maryland Live rather than their authority as police officers. Both police officers held second part-time employment at Maryland Live at the time. I remember when I saw the video, the one police officer erroneously quoting the law to Justin. Both Officers may be held liable for their actions...which is great!
Again, congrats to Justin and Mr. Nersesian.
