Attorneys for the Wiegand family have filed a response to Royal Caribbean's motion for dismissal and a demand for all videos in RC's posession.
Key components of this motion include allegations that the 2 videos filed with the Royal Caribbean motion for dismissal show the incident from deceptive angles and that it was physically impossible for the grandfather to put his upper body through and out the window as RC claims.
Inspection by the Wiegands' counsel show that there were 13 cameras total in the area where the incident occurred. They are demanding the release of additional video, while asking that the 2 videos that were released be stricken from record.
"The Wiegands are in the process of responding to Royal Caribbean’s Motion to Dismiss. In short, Royal Caribbean’s Motion to Dismiss is baseless and deceptive. It is clear that Royal Caribbean’s tactic is to blame Chloe’s grandfather rather than to accept that Royal Caribbean did not implement industry standards for toddler safety aboard its ships which ultimately led to Chloe’s tragic death.
Royal Caribbean has premised its defense in this case and its blame on Chloe’s grandfather by supplying two deceptive views from its CCTV cameras to the court and the Puerto Rico authorities.
However, the Plaintiffs were first permitted a vessel inspection of the scene of the incident on January 10 – less than a week after Royal Caribbean first informed the Wiegands that they are making modifications to the ship that will destroy the subject area where the incident occurred.
That inspection has revealed that Royal Caribbean’s Motion to Dismiss neglects to tell the Court and, presumably, the authorities that there were no less than THIRTEEN CCTV video cameras in the area of the incident. The Wiegands will ask the Court to compel Royal Caribbean to produce all the video from those nearby cameras."
