An excerpt from Boston Globe: Hernandez faces more legal issues
Hernandez was sued earlier this month in US District Court in Florida by a Connecticut man who claimed that Hernandez shot him in the eye after they attended Tootsies, a Miami strip club.
Attorneys for the man, Alexander S. Bradley, said in court papers that the incident took place Feb. 13, when Bradley and Hernandez were among a group of people who went to the nightspot together.
During the night, however, Bradley and Hernandez argued.
“Thereafter plaintiff [Bradley] and defendant [Hernandez] and two other persons were driving from Miami to Palm Beach, Fla.,’’ Bradley’s attorneys wrote in the suit. “Defendant had in his possession a gun. The gun discharged. The defendant caused the gun to go off while aiming it at the plaintiff.’’
The lawsuit, filed June 13, said that Hernandez does not have a license to carry a firearm.
According to the lawsuit, Bradley lost his right eye and has undergone multiple surgeries to repair his face. He is also now disfigured, has screws in his face to speed healing, has trouble eating, has become “substantially disabled” and will need medical care for the rest of his life, the lawsuit said.
Bradley withdrew the lawsuit on Monday due to an error in the text of the complaint, said his lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, in a Globe interview. He intends to re-file the complaint today, after making a minor correction to the extensive section of the lawsuit that describes Bradley’s alleged injuries from the gunshot.
Bradley’s attorneys have insisted that Bradley suffered more than $100,000 worth of damages.
