The Laundrie family’s attorney, Steve Bertolino, wished the Petito-Schmidt family “good luck” in their wrongful death lawsuit against the Moab, Utah Police Department on Monday, but also said he doesn’t believe the officers involved did anything wrong. Nearly a year after Moab police responded to a domestic violence call alleging that Brian Laundrie, 23, had slapped and hit his ex-fiancée, Gabby Petito, 22, in public outside a grocery store on the city’s Main Street, his parents Petito announced that they plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that the officers failed to recognize that their daughter was a victim of domestic violence and mishandled the call. The officers, Eric Pratt and Daniel Robbins, separated the couple for the night, leaving Petito in the RV-turned-van and dropping Loudry off at a local motel — despite acknowledging on dashcam video that the law of Utah required them to be arrested in domestic violence cases. .

(North Port Police/Stephanie Pagones/Fox News Digital) Bertolino said he was speaking for himself and not for Chris or Roberta Lundry. “Moab police, in my view, did not contribute to Gabby Petito’s death in any way,” the New York-based attorney who represented Brian Lundry before his death told Fox News Digital. “My understanding of the Moab incident is that Gabby was the aggressor and admitted on camera that he hit Brian first.” Attorneys for Petito’s parents announced Monday a notice of claim in a $50 million wrongful-death lawsuit against the Moab Police Department and several officers involved in the call directly and indirectly.
