Judge Rules Nick Gordon 'Legally Responsible' in Bobbi Kristina Brown's Death, Lawyer Says
BY LINDSAY KIMBLE 09/16/2016 AT 11:20 AM EDT
Just over a year after Bobbi Kristina Brown died at the age of 22, a judge has ruled her boyfriend Nick Gordon is civilly liable in her death, Brown's estate attorney said Friday.
Gordon failed to appear – for the second time – in Atlanta, Georgia, court Friday morning in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Brown's estate last year, Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford said.
Because Gordon has failed to appear twice, the judge said anything alleged by the plaintiff is admitted through omission.
The judge will now determine the amount of damages to be awarded to Brown's estate. The suit asked for $50 million.
