After a shooting in a Cinemark location during a screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises' that left 12 dead and 70 wounded, victims of the massacre attempted to sue in state court, but a jury decided the theater was not responsible for alleged lapses in security during the midnight premiere.
Now, Cinemark is asking victims to compensate costs for expert witnesses, preserving evidence, retrieving and copying records, travel and various other expenses totaling $699,187.13, courts documents stated.
The Associated Press reported Colorado courts allow for the winning party of a court case to recover legal fees. A judge did not immediately rule on the request.
Jurors ruled in Cinemark's favor in the lawsuit earlier this year. The theater argued argued extra security measures would not have stopped the killing spree, despite victims arguing extra guards and a silent alarm may have prevented the assault.
