前NFL球星Shawne Merriman等四人被判赔400万美元：Playboy员工过量死亡案判决正式录入
洛杉矶（Los Angeles）——据 TMZ 取得的法庭文件，一名洛杉矶县法官本月早些时候正式录入一项 400 万美元的判决：前 NFL 闪电队（Chargers）线卫 Shawne Merriman 与另外三名被告，须就 2017 年 Playboy 员工 Kimberly Fattorini 过量死亡一事承担赔偿。判决录入日期为 10 月 5 日，距 Fattorini 去世已逾九年。
据 TMZ 报道，陪审团去年已裁定 Merriman 等被告须承担责任，并判给 Fattorini 的父母 DeAnn 与 Ferdinand Fattorini 数百万美元赔偿；此次正式录入的 400 万美元判决由 Merriman、J.P. Castro、Monica Maass 与 Elias Wehbe 四人承担。法官同时裁定夜总会一方的被告胜诉，包括 The Highlight Room、Tao Group 与 The Warwick，这些被告无须向 Fattorini 家人支付赔偿。
Fattorini 的父母 2019 年提起诉讼，指控 Merriman 在一夜派对后对其女儿下药、并可能实施性侵，致其过量死亡；诉状称，Fattorini 曾给一名俱乐部推广人发短信，称 Merriman 的朋友把 GHB 倒进了她的饮料。她的死亡被裁定为意外，体内检出酒精、可卡因与 GHB。Merriman 此前否认有任何不当行为，其代表向 TMZ 表示相关指控毫无根据，警方调查后未发现他有不当行为的证据。（GSM 据 TMZ 报道）
Ex-NFL Star Shawne Merriman and Three Others Ordered to Pay $4M in Playboy Employee Wrongful Death Case
LOS ANGELES — According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a Los Angeles County judge earlier this month entered a $4 million judgment against former NFL Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman and three other defendants over the 2017 overdose death of Playboy employee Kimberly Fattorini. The judgment was officially entered on October 5, more than nine years after Fattorini's death.
TMZ reported that a jury last year found Merriman and the other defendants liable and awarded Fattorini's parents, DeAnn and Ferdinand Fattorini, millions of dollars in damages. The newly entered $4 million judgment holds Merriman, J.P. Castro, Monica Maass and Elias Wehbe responsible. The judge also ruled in favor of the nightclub defendants, including The Highlight Room, Tao Group and The Warwick, meaning they will not have to pay damages to Fattorini's family.
Fattorini's parents sued in 2019, claiming Merriman drugged and possibly sexually assaulted their daughter before she overdosed following a night of partying. The lawsuit alleged Fattorini texted a club promoter that Merriman's friend had poured GHB into her drink. Her death was ruled accidental, with alcohol, cocaine and GHB found in her system. Merriman previously denied any wrongdoing, with his representative telling TMZ the allegations were baseless and that police had investigated without finding evidence of wrongdoing on his part.
