Update 4:15 P.M., Tuesday, June 30: An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated that Judge Matsch ordered the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence to pay the defendants’ legal fees in this case.
In fact, Judge Matsch ordered the plaintiffs in the suit, Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, to pay the fees. Although the Brady Center has publicly described the lawsuit as their own, Lucky Gunner has vowed to recover their fees from the Brady Center, and Judge Matsch addressed the Brady Center’s involvement in his opinion, the Brady Center is not named as a plaintiff in the order. We regret the error.
The Brady Center has not responded to an inquiry about whether they would pay the fees on the Phillips’ behalf.
