WORCESTER COUNTY, Md. – The family of Gavin Knupp is preparing to take legal action following the sentencing of Tyler Mailloux, expressing dissatisfaction with the court’s decision. Their attorney, Neil Dubovsky, confirmed that they intend to return to court with a civil lawsuit, arguing Mailloux played a direct role in Knupp’s death. Mailloux pleaded guilty on February 25 to failing to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in death, one of 17 charges he originally faced. While the court proceedings acknowledged that he was not held responsible for causing the accident, the Knupp family strongly disagrees and is seeking further accountability through civil litigation.
The court’s decision in the Mailloux case is disgusting! Makes me think a payoff was involved.
