Dirty Harry tried for two hours, but it’s still up in the air whether a jury will make his day in court. Clint Eastwood testified in court, fending off a lawsuit brought against him by a woman with muscular dystrophy. Diane zum Brunnen, 51, says the actor’s Mission Ranch near Carmel, Calif., doesn’t comply with state laws that require facilities to be accessible to those in wheelchairs.
Zum Brunnen says she couldn’t get around in her wheelchair when she was a guest at the hotel in 1996. Eastwood fired back saying he tried to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act while preserving the 150-year-old hotel’s heritage and antique value, The Associated Press reports.
The 70-year-old actor acknowledged that access problems at his hotel exist, but renovations to comply with state laws are a continual process.
Stay tuned.
