LOOMING LEGAL SHOWDOWN In March, the Petito family filed a suit against Laundrie's parents for "intentional infliction of emotional distress," claiming Chris and Roberta were aware their son had murdered Gabby and chose not to act. Despite the Laundries' efforts to dismiss the suit, a judge ruled in favor of the Petitos with a jury trial scheduled for August 2023. Last month, attorneys for Chris and Roberta filed a motion asking the judge to limit the presented evidence to the period between Gabby's death in August 2021 and the discovery of her body a few weeks later. The defense argues that this will ...protect them from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, undue burden and expense.... ...The public who followed the case and the plaintiffs are likely curious about Brian Laundrie's life, his last days, his interaction with his parents, and the thoughts and feelings experienced by his parents,... the motion states, according to Fox 13. ...But curiosity is not a reason to require the defendants to discuss such personal and heart-wrenching details. ...Rather, the discovery must be relevant to the cause of action at issue....

Laundrie, 23, admitted to ...ending... his girlfriend's life last August, calling it a "merciful murder" in a journal found along with his skeletal remains in the Carlton Reserve in North Port on October 20, 2021.

I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked.

Laundrie is believed to have written.
