| Erin Andrews |
The Tennessean reports the defense rested its case Thursday after putting on two final witnesses. Jurors have heard seven days of testimony, and the lawyers will deliver closing arguments Friday.
Andrews is suing West End Hotel Partners, the owner of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University; Windsor Capital Group, the management company; and her stalker, Michael David Barrett, for $75 million. The television personality says in court filings that the hotel and staff allowed Barrett to book a room next to hers, giving him access to film her through a peephole while she was in Nashville covering a Vanderbilt football game in September 2008.
The jury will weigh whether those companies and Barrett are liable. If jurors find the companies at fault, then they will address what Andrews' damages — money award — should be.
The defense's last witness was former NFL player Jesse Palmer, who worked on ESPN's Thursday night college football crew with Andrews in 2008 and 2009. He said he was amazed at Andrews' on-air performance at her first game back after the videos were leaked, calling her a professional. He also said she was subject to sexual comments before the videos were leaked, and said she had additional security after the incident.
