Murphy et al v. Roger Cox Property Management Co. et al

Andrae was killed when a bullet pierced the front door of his apartment. At trial, attorney Mollie McGraw successfully argued that the condo association’s and property management company’s failures to conduct background checks and enforce safety rules caused Andrae’s untimely death. In March 2015, a Santa Fe jury found the defendants were liable and awarded $12 million.
