John Fleming was involved with a case involving the death of an allegedly intoxicated college student, who passed out after a party at a public campground, during freezing winter weather, and expired due to hypothermia. John and Abigail represented one of the defendants. The defendants, including individuals and a national fraternity organization, were sued for providing alcohol, sponsoring the party, and ‘encouraging” alcohol consumption. Based on established case law, the trial judge dismissed the case as against all defendants.
