Injury in Metro North South Bronx Yards Led To Public Exchange of Offers Now Trial March 17

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 7 – Neil Gonzalez was working for Metro North Railroad when he was injured on August 10, 2016, in the Mott Haven Yard in the South Bronx. He sued.  

On March 5, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Ronnie Abrams held a proceeding. Inner City Press called in and covered it.  

 Things got real, real fast. Settlement was being discussed when Judge Abrams reminded the parties that it was a public line. She suggested the proceeding end so they could negotiate.

But they stayed on, speaking in code. One asked, Is your number the same one as before? If so, there's no point.

 Judge Abrams suggested that they talk off-line, at least for an hour, and file a status letter by March 8.

 They filed a joint letter: "counsel were unable to reach agreement wither as to the stipulation or as to settlement."

  On March 11, Judge Abrams held a final pre-trial conference. Inner City Press again covered it. Judge Abrams asked if settlement was any closer. No. So it's on: a jury trial on the case, starting Wednesday, March 17.

The case is Gonzalez v. Metro-North Commuter Railroad, 18-cv-7660 (Abrams)
