Families of Sandy Hook victims wonder why Remington has subpoenaed school records of 5 1st graders

Gunmaker Remington has subpoenaed the school records of children and adults killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, court documents show.

The gunmaker is being sued by nine families of Sandy Hook victims for wrongful death, who allege that the gunmaker inappropriately marketed a military-grade gun to civilians.

Newly filed court documents show that in July, the company subpoenaed the academic, attendance, and discipline records of five children killed in the shooting and issued a separate subpoena for the records of four slain teachers.

On Thursday, lawyers for the families filed a motion to seal the records requested by the gunmaker.

Sounds like a "blame the victim" strategy. Remington should know a little something about "backfire" Midnight Writer Sep 2021 #4

Share the blame in their own deaths by misbehavior, deviant behavior and future juvenile delinquency.

Remington should be crucified for this request!

That’s what defendants do in wrongful death suits. It’s sick and twisted, but SOP.

There’s a movie coming out about how this was dealt with following 9/11.

They want a number so they can pay off the parents and make it all go away. Sick.
