DeBrodie family attorney says revealing graphic details in lawsuit ‘was a balancing act’

According to the DeBrodie family’s attorney, Rudy Veit, he didn’t originally want to add all the information to the lawsuit but said he had no choice in order to move forward.

Veit told ABC 17 the defendants’ lawyers said they needed more information on how DeBrodie died, which Veit says they already had, but refused to provide.

Veit also said because of the lack of cooperation with the nearly two dozen defendants named in the wrongful death lawsuit, he had no choice but to add information on what lead up to DeBrodie being found encased in concrete.

Nearly 26 thousand of the documents Veit’s firm got was given to them by the Attorney General’s Office and the Callaway County Prosecutor’s Office, according to Veit.

When ABC 17 asked why some of the graphic details in the lawsuit were added, Veit said, “It was a balancing act of going through the records and finding what happened, and also not putting everything out there but would only cause more grief, in that to Carl’s mother.”
