I don't know if you will be able to access it. Basically the jury found for some parents who wouldn't accept the settlement. The basis of the finding was that the school didn't respond promptly and correctly to the initial shooting which they viewed as a domestic.
I'd like to read more and see if they considered the lack of response to the reports of Cho's behavior. The chair of his department has written how the school ignored her and other reports of his behavior and afterwards tried to shut up the folks who knew this.
One horrific thing I heard at a conference was that in part the after tragedy ceremonies where you honor the victims is thought to restrain the lawsuits. How can you sue us after we had that nice memorial in the stadium for your kid?
It is also thought that the ceremonies supply vicarious reinforcement for the fantasies of the next shooter. It's been found they study such as they prepare their attack.
