Plaintiffs lawyers Eric Hertz, Mark Link and Todd Johnson won a $6.4 million verdict for a former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader against Atlanta rapper Da Brat in Cobb County Superior Court on Thursday—but Hertz’s attempt to live-tweet the trial was thwarted by opposing counsel, B.J. Bernstein.
The plaintiff, Shayla Stevens, sued Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, for injuries sustained when Da Brat hit her over the head with a rum bottle at a 2007 Halloween party at Studio 72, a club owned by hip-hop promoter Jermaine Dupri. Da Brat served almost three years in prison for the attack.
