When the husband fought back, Brown shot them both dead. This lawsuit seeks to hold Letgo liable for the murders.

Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
