LANSING, MI (AP)-- The Michigan Supreme Court says it will hear arguments in a dispute over liability for the death of a 4-year-old girl at Gwinn High School.
Amarah Filizetti, the daughter of a cheerleading coach, was accidentally killed in the school gym in 2015 when a 325-pound panel fell on her. Staff were in the process of putting the panel in place to shield a portable stage.
The Court of Appeals last summer reversed the opinion of a Marquette County judge and ruled in favor of the Gwinn school district and various individuals. The Supreme Court wants to focus on whether the district has immunity under government tort law.
