跟进：Playboy员工过量死亡案400万美元判决遭同案被告挑战 夜店推广人请求法院撤销判决
洛杉矶（Los Angeles）——2017 年 Playboy 员工 Kimberly Fattorini 过量死亡案的 400 万美元判决出现新进展。据 TMZ 10 月 22 日取得的法庭文件，与前 NFL 球星 Shawne Merriman 同案被判赔的夜店推广人 Elias Wehbe 已请求法院撤销对他的判决，理由是判决录入不合规定、审判中呈交的证据不足以支持这一判决。TMZ 称，Merriman 本人尚未在本案中提交自己的回应文件，法院对 Wehbe 这一请求尚无裁定见诸报道。
本案判决本月刚正式录入。本站 10 月 19 日曾报道，洛杉矶县一名法官 10 月 5 日正式录入 400 万美元判决，由 Merriman、Elias Wehbe、J.P. Castro 与 Monica Maass 四名被告承担，赔付给 Fattorini 的父母 DeAnn 与 Ferdinand Fattorini；陪审团去年已裁定四名被告须承担责任。法官同时裁定 The Highlight Room、Tao Group 与 The Warwick 等夜店一方被告胜诉，无须支付赔偿。
案件源于 2017 年 7 月 21 日：时年 30 岁、在 Playboy 担任选角助理的 Fattorini 在洛杉矶一夜外出后被发现失去反应并死亡。洛杉矶县验尸官裁定其死亡属意外，体内检出酒精、可卡因与 GHB。GHB 是一种常被称为「约会强暴药」的抑制剂。其父母 2019 年提起过失致死诉讼，指控有人在 Fattorini 的饮料中放入 GHB、且她可能遭到性侵；诉状称，Fattorini 曾在派对后给推广人发短信，称 Merriman 的朋友把半份 GHB 倒进了她的饮料。
Merriman 此前一直否认有任何不当行为。其代表当时向 TMZ 表示，相关指控毫无根据，Merriman 只是出席了一场派对，警方已彻底调查、未发现他有任何不当行为，本案从未进入刑事程序。此次 Wehbe 请求撤销的是民事判决中对他录入的部分，后续由法院决定是否受理与裁定。（GSM 据 TMZ 报道）
Follow-Up: Co-Defendant Asks Court to Set Aside $4 Million Judgment in Playboy Employee Overdose Death Case
LOS ANGELES — There is a new development in the $4 million judgment over the 2017 overdose death of Playboy employee Kimberly Fattorini. According to court documents obtained by TMZ on October 22, nightclub promoter Elias Wehbe, who was ordered to pay alongside former NFL star Shawne Merriman, has asked the court to set aside the judgment entered against him, arguing that the judgment was not properly entered and that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support it. TMZ reported that Merriman himself has not yet filed a response of his own in the case, and no court ruling on Wehbe's request has been reported.
The judgment was formally entered only this month. As GSM reported on October 19, a Los Angeles County judge entered the $4 million judgment on October 5, holding Merriman, Elias Wehbe, J.P. Castro and Monica Maass responsible for the award payable to Fattorini's parents, DeAnn and Ferdinand Fattorini; a jury had found the four defendants liable last year. The judge also ruled in favor of the nightclub defendants, including The Highlight Room, Tao Group and The Warwick, which owe nothing to the family.
The case stems from July 21, 2017, when Fattorini, 30, a casting associate at Playboy, was found unresponsive after a night out in Los Angeles and died. The county coroner ruled her death accidental, with alcohol, cocaine and GHB found in her system. GHB is a depressant commonly known as a date-rape drug. Her parents sued in 2019, alleging that someone put GHB in her drink and that she may have been sexually assaulted; the suit said Fattorini had texted the promoter from an after-party that Merriman's friend had poured half a G into her drink.
Merriman has denied any wrongdoing throughout. His representative told TMZ at the time that the allegations were baseless, that Merriman had simply attended an after-party, and that police had investigated thoroughly and found no wrongdoing on his part; no criminal case was ever brought. Wehbe's filing challenges the civil judgment as entered against him, and the court will decide whether to grant the request. (GSM via TMZ)
