Lawsuit Sparks Outrage

Days after filing a $100 million lawsuit claiming the state failed to adequately protect the students at Sandy Hook Elementary School -- drawing outrage from area residents and the legal community -- a New Haven lawyer withdrew it Monday.

But that doesn't preclude a future filing, Irving Pinsky said.

"I received new evidence on security at the school, which I need to evaluate," he said, and would decided later "what route to take."

Before withdrawing the filing, Pinsky said he had received thousands of emails and messages condemning him for trying to hold the state accountable for the Sandy Hook shootings that took the lives of 20 first-grade students and six teachers on Dec. 14.

No worse than the Beebe Hospital lawsuit,where an institution is held accountable for the actions of one person.

You're wrong, Beebe was told repeatedly about the situation and took no action.
Sandy Hook was not told some nut case is coming to shoot up your school.

Well if all those people are upset about him trying to hold the state responsible I guess they can't hold the guns responsible either.
