Jeffrey Harris argued the case on behalf of Bernecker’s mother, urging jurors to find that the production failed to abide by its own safety rules.
David Dial argued the case for the defendants, saying that Bernecker’s death could not have been reasonably foreseen. The jurors were shown frame-by-frame video of the accident. Bernecker was supposed to fall over a railing and off a balcony onto a thick pad 21 feet below. But as he flipped over, Bernecker unexpectedly grabbed onto the railing with his left hand. That changed his trajectory, causing him to swing back towards the wall. He missed his mark by nine feet, landing on his head on the cement floor. He died at the hospital two days later.
