PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Lawyers for the owners of a nightclub where 100 people died in a 2003 fire want criminal charges against their clients tossed out because evidence was allegedly withheld from a grand jury.
Attorneys for Jeffrey and Michael Derderian argued in court papers filed Monday that jurors should have been told about a fax sent to prosecutors by a salesman who sold the insulating foam involved in the deadly fire.
Barry Warner's eight-page fax said his company, Johnston-based American Foam Corp., had a policy of not warning customers about the potential hazards — including flammability — of the foam it was selling.
