Judge Andrew Schulman highlighted the urgency for a resolution by stating, "The time is nigh to have the issues fully briefed and decided," indicating a need for clarity in the case.
This landmark lawsuit, representing the first of over 1,100 claims, involved David Meehan's allegations of abuse, which led to significant criminal investigations and potential consequences for the state.
Schulman previously expressed that applying the state’s damage cap would result in an 'unconscionable miscarriage of justice,' reflecting the complexity and severity of the case.
The jury's determination that the state was only liable for a single incident has spurred further contention, highlighting challenges around legal definitions of such cases.
