The defendant claims the minor was a regular who was given drinks by all the bartenders at the restaurant, and she had even cut the individual off that evening.

When he went to pick it up, however, the defendant was hiding from him, and the iPod was broken and all his songs were gone. He is suing for the price of a new iPod and all the songs he lost. The defendant claims he was paid to run a diagnostics test on the iPod, and when he discovered the damages, he was told to simply transfer the music to a hard drive, which failed.
