And in the not-Ferguson news today
Attorney Stephen Malouf said Vinson, who has recovered, saw the publicity of her case harm the store and decided to get bridesmaids' dresses elsewhere to avoid further scrutiny for the business. Owner Anna Younker said Vinson's change of heart and the refund request feel like a slap in the face after the shop lost tens of thousands of dollars because of its connection to her.
Malouf said that wasn't Vinson's intention. "I'm sorry that the shop is upset. This was an effort to help the shop and Amber," he said. "This was a purely innocent request and I'm sorry it wasn't received in the spirit in which it was sent."

You don't hire an attorney to send an innocent request, intended to help the shop. If that was truly their intent, they will withdraw the request.
An attorney representing Texas nurse Amber Vinson is asking Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal shop to refund a total of $480 in deposits and payments that four of her bridesmaids made for their dresses.
