Lawyers representing Nick Gordon have asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed against him in the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown.
The motion was filed on Tuesday, 11Alive reports. Gordon’s criminal lawyer Jose Baez called the claims “slanderous and meritless,” after the lawsuit claimed the 25-year-old created a “toxic cocktail” for Brown and placed her face down in the bathtub of her Atlanta, Ga. home in January.
Accusing Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and transferring money from her account into his own without authorization, the Brown/Houston family is looking to collect $10 million in damages.
Baez and rest of Gordon’s team insist the case be dismissed because Gordon isn’t a resident of Georgia, and his recollection of the day Bobbi Kristina was found in the bathtub is different from the family’s claims.
