10 Sandy Hook families have hired a former U.S. solicitor general to argue their wrongful death lawsuit against gunmaker Remington.  Donald Verrilli Jr, a Wilton native, has filed a 40-page brief with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that the justices deny Remington’s appeal of a Connecticut Supreme Court ruling from March.  The state's highest court ruled 4-3 to overturn a lower court ruling that threw out the families’ wrongful death case against Remington and returned the family’s case to trial court.  The families’ argument that Remington inspired the shooter with illegal marketing of its AR-15-style rifle has landmark potential, because federal law protects gun manufacturers from most liability in criminal cases. Verrilli argued the Affordable Care Act and the Defense of Marriage Act before the U.S. Supreme Court while he was U.S. Solicitor General under President Barak Obama.
