Baker Sterchi Obtains Defense Verdict in Alleged Shooting, Negligence Case in the City of St. Louis


Baker Sterchi successfully defended a negligence lawsuit involving an alleged shooting where Plaintiff alleged Defendant shot a firearm at his head while standing over him. Plaintiff initially pled both intentional tort and negligence but chose to submit only on negligence. In response, we successfully argued that Plaintiff initiated the physical altercation, had Defendant in a headlock, and Defendant shot one round in the air to deter Plaintiff’s attack. In closing, Plaintiff’s counsel asked the jury for an amount in excess of $1 million dollars and an additional award of punitive damages. After a four-day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendant.
