Beating Goliath #5 – Case 2 (Part 2) – Victim Blaming and Kara’s Day in Court

In the final episode of this two-part series, Karla’s attorneys fight an uphill battle in keeping her case alive as Karla is dealing with the emotional trauma in the aftermath of her attack.

As we learned in Episode 1, the lack of physical evidence police had to work with resulted in her assailant not being criminally charged for the attack. But Karla was persistent in her pursuit of justice and found a team of civil attorneys to file a premises liability lawsuit against the hotel that allowed this attack to happen.

As her attorneys at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard uncovered more and more information about how the Holiday Inn-Northshore Skokie had been operated, it became clear that the hotel was negligent and provided her attacker, Alhagie Singhateh, with an opportunity to prey on guests.

When her case is finally ready to go to trial in 2020, she faces even more frustration when the world suddenly shuts down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Karla and her team are forced to wait until 2022 to seek justice at trial.

Listen in to hear how Karla’s attorneys proved their case and how the defense tried to attack Karla’s character in an attempt to avoid liability.
