Ohio bakery owner Lorna Gibson and her attorney sounded off after a court ordered Oberlin College to pay $36 million in damages to her business on 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'
The three students were arrested and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, court documents state.
Oberlin College students protested outside the bakery following the shoplifting incident. During a protest, former Oberlin College vice president and dean of students Meredith Raimondo handed out flyers stating that the bakery was a"RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION," according to court documents.
Representing attorney Brandon McHugh and an Oberlin College spokesperson confirmed the payout earlier this year.Lee Plakas, an attorney representing the bakery, who joined ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ alongside Gibson, said Sunday that the"unfortunate takeaway" from the case is that Oberlin refuses to own up to its role in wreaking havoc on Gibson's business.
