Gammill of Gammill Law Accident & Injury Lawyers<\/a> as lead counsel for the retrial.<\/p>\n“This verdict sends a clear message: when schools ignore warning signs and protect their reputation instead of their students, there are consequences,” said David Gammill, lead trial counsel and founder of Gammill Law Accident & Injury Lawyers. “Our client carried this trauma for decades. The jury finally had the opportunity to hear her story in full and hold the District accountable.”<\/p>\n
At trial, the jury heard evidence that Friedman used his position as a trusted teacher and coach at Beverly Hills High School to groom and abuse a vulnerable student, and that BHUSD failed to act on warning signs that should have prompted intervention. The verdict recognizes not only the abuse itself, but more than forty years of emotional fallout.<\/p>\n
“This case shows that justice is still possible, even when the abuse happened long ago,” Gammill added. “Survivors should know that setbacks in the legal system do not mean the end of the road. With persistence and preparation, juries will do the right thing.”<\/p>\n
