Daley said building owner Philip Pappas must shoulder some blame for the tragedy because he built a porch at 713 W. Wrightwood without a proper permit. But the mayor also said the men named in the lawsuit, John Koranda and William S. Fenton-Hathaway, should be held responsible for their role in the June 29, 2003, incident.
John Koranda's 23-year-old brother, Robert, a star Naperville North High School football player and Princeton University graduate, was killed in the accident.
Daley said city attorneys gathered enough evidence indicating the two men were negligent when they jumped up and down on the porch while dozens of revelers were standing on it."
Why would Mayor Daley even touch this?
