For what it is it does feel he got off scot-free (no pun intended). But I imagine the lawsuits from the victim's families are still up there?

“ecstatic and that a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders”

Disgusting. I hope the civil lawsuits drain every penny from him.

i dont think a crime was committed, but there was a HIGH degree of negligence and i hope the victims' families win their civil suits

[genbu_no_miko24]

They still wanna deny negligence too. (I couldn't include every single tidbit)

"The victims died of “compression asphyxia,” according to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. The youngest victim was nine years old. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against Scott and other organizers, including the entertainment company Live Nation. The defendants have denied the allegations that negligence in the planning and promotion of the festival contributed to the deaths."

given that they knew the sheer number of people that would show up:
(1) poor crowd control IS poor planning
(2) poor emergency routes IS poor planning

I can't say much about travis though, I feel like he can just deny he was aware that any kind of situation was going on cuz it happened pretty far away from where he was on the stage (and spotlights blind your vision of the crowd)

This is horrible.
