Justice Mitchell
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Legal Newsline) – The father of a woman who committed suicide after an alleged sexual assault will still be able to argue her alleged assailant is liable for her wrongful death.
The suicide of Megan Rondini is not an event that breaks the chain of causation linking the alleged assault and Rondini’s death, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled May 7. The decision was made in response to a certified question from the federal judge hearing Michael Rondini’s wrongful death lawsuit.
That federal judge has concluded there is substantial evidence that Terry Bunn Jr. sexually assaulted Megan. The two met at a Tuscaloosa bar in 2015, while Megan was a student at the University of Alabama, and he allegedly drugged and raped her.
This week allow me to share with you a sketch of the men and women who sit on our State Supreme Court. These nine Justices are all Republican, all conservative on both social and business issues. All are very devout in their faith and very connected to their church and their family.
Chief Justice Tom Parker has been on the State Supreme Court since 2005. He was born and raised in Montgomery and went to Dartmouth College and Vanderbilt Law School.
Chief Justice Parker and his wife the former Dottie James of Auburn have been married 39 years. Dottie was a supervisor of the governorâs mansion during the Fob James administration. They are Methodist.
