The Nevada Supreme Court has upheld a $1 million verdict against a security firm that did not prevent a fatal attack in a Las Vegas Wal-Mart parking lot. The high court on Friday declined to grant a new trial to Wackenhut in the death of 51-year-old Michael Born.
In 2004, the retired Air Force major was putting a headlight on his car when Raymond Garrett punched him. Born later died of his injuries. Lawyers for Born's relatives argued in 2011 that Wackenhut should have been more vigilant in protecting customers at the store at Nellis and Charleston, since police were being called to the store an average of three times a day at the time of the attack.
