Leaders in Law - John Barylick, Esq. - "Killer Show"

The American Museum of Tort Law presents Leaders in Law - John Barylick Lead Attorney in wrongful death and personal injury cases arising from the Station Nightclub fire in Rhode Island in 2003, Attorney Barylick tells the story of the fire, its causes, and its legal and human aftermath - a story of a horrific fire and the many petty economic decisions by a band, club owners, promoters, building inspectors, and product manufacturers, any one of which, made differently, might have averted the tragedy. In less than five minutes, 96 people were burned alive and 200 more were injured, many catastrophically. The final death toll topped out, three months later, at the eerily unlikely round number of 100.
