SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 14 – On Manhattan's East
End Avenue near 82nd Street on
August 5, 2019 at 6:25 pm,
Christoph Rich in a Cadillac
struck or was struck by Raoul
Goldberger on a scooter.
Goldenberg sued in state
court, and it was removed to
Federal Court.
On
September 14 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Naomi Reice Buchwald held a
public proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Things got real
very quickly.
Rich lawyer
Anna-Lisa Bonventre said, on
the public line, that
Goldberger's counsel had asked
for $2 million, while the
insurance carrier is offering
$50,000. She also said or
implied that Goldberg had been
using cocaine, and has a
criminal
history.
Goldberger's
lawyer asked, What does that
matter, given that Goldberger
had his kneecap smashed? And
who has a cocaine party at
6:25 pm?
Rich's
lawyer said, I don't attend
such parties, I wouldn't know.
It was said that addicts don't
only use drugs on
Saturday.
Next up is
a case management plan, for
depositions.
The case is
Goldberger v. Rich, 20-cv-5429
(Buchwald)
