Bobbi Kristina Brown's death will finally be given justice after a judge in Atlanta ordered Nick Gordon to pay $36,250,000 over the wrongful death lawsuit. Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina's father, became emotional at the Fulton County courtroom on Nov. 17, Thursday, as the judge announced the decision.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford made it clear that Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend failed to show up in court and that the conservator of Bobbi's estate wins by default, according to WSBTV. Mr. Brown recalled that his daughter was the life of every party, and she is multi-talented like her mom, the late Whitney Houston.
When Mr. Brown was asked by the judge about when he began suspecting Gordon about Bobbi Kristina's death, he admitted that he knew it right from the start that Gordon is the one responsible. He knows that her daughter was afraid of bath tubs, which added more to his doubt that Bobby Kristina's boyfriend has something to do with it.
The final breakdown of what the court ordered Gordon to pay Bobbi Kristina Brown's estate includes: $1,575,041 for conversion of Brown's funds, with the maximum charge of $250,000 for punitive damages; $1,370,877.52 for assault and battery medical damages; $13 million for pain and suffering, with an additional $4,200,000 because Gordon was found intoxicated both with alcohol and drugs; and $15,056,000 million for loss of life.
Earlier, the conservator sought $40 million in Bobbi Kristina's wrongful death lawsuit. However, the concern now is when and will the conservator will ever be getting what the judge ordered Gordon to pay.
"Nick isn't in a good place right now," a family member of Gordon told People. "He doesn't have any money. This is symbolic more than anything, because they're not going to get anything from him. You can't get blood from a stone."
Gordon's relative admitted that he may file for bankruptcy because he does not have any single money to pay over Bobbi Kristina's death case. Gordon is reportedly in a bad shape at the moment as he could not think clearly about his next steps.
Gordon is not yet criminally responsible in Bobbi Kristina's death. A copy of Mr. Gordon's lawyer statement was shared by Mr. Brown on his Instagram page regarding the judge's decision.
