Travis Scott To Stand Trial In Civil Court For Astroworld Disaster After Judge Refuses To Dismiss Lawsuit

American Trap star, Travis Scott has shockingly learned that he will stay involved in the Astroworld legal litigation going ahead, as victim Madison Dubiski’s first trial is scheduled to begin next month.

According to Rolling Stone, as of this Thursday, April 25, Judge Kristen Hawkins of Harris County, Texas, declined Scott’s move for the case to be dismissed. Judge Hawkins made her decision without providing any justification, which means that the civil lawsuits will be allowed to proceed.

The first victim to have her case heard is Dubiski, who is suing the rapper (actual name Jacques Webster II) and concert promoter Live Nation. Her trial is scheduled to start on May 6. If Scott and Live Nation are held guilty, they will face a court order to pay billions of dollars in damages to the victims.

In records that HipHopDX was able to obtain, it was disclosed that Dubiski and the other defendants would be debating arguments made by expert witnesses that the plaintiffs had hired, among them Darrell Darnell, the former director of disaster management for the District of Columbia.

In the report, Darnell claims that Live Nation “breached their duties and responsibilities to implement a crowd management and/or crowd control plan” and that he and other experts cautioned the festival organizers about the impracticality of packing thousands of people into a small performance venue.
