Los Angeles Angels Wrongful Death Case Update
An Orange County jury is currently deliberating in the wrongful death case of Tyler Skaggs against the Los Angeles Angels, following two months of evidence that has highlighted troubling aspects of professional baseball culture. The jury must determine the extent of the Angels' responsibility for Skaggs' death, weighing arguments that he was a secret drug user who exploited an Angels employee, Eric Kay, against claims from Skaggs' family that he was a victim of Kay's negligence regarding the dangers of the drugs provided to him.
Skaggs, a 27-year-old pitcher for the Angels at the time of his death, was given a counterfeit pill containing fentanyl by Kay, who has since been convicted and sentenced to over 20 years in prison. Testimonies from various witnesses, including former team officials and players like Mike Trout, have revealed a culture of drug use within the organization. As jurors continue their deliberations, they have requested to review expert testimony regarding Skaggs' potential earnings had he lived.
