PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia judge has ruled that a portion of a civil lawsuit seeking to hold the parents of a Bucks County man who pleaded guilty to killing four men liable for his actions can move forward.
Sandra and Antonio DiNardo, the parents of Cosmo DiNardo, asked a judge to dismiss the portion of the civil lawsuit filed by one of his victim's families that argued that they should be responsible for their son's actions.
The one-paragraph ruling signed May 13 only says that the motion is denied. The younger DiNardo, who was 20 at the time, confessed to luring four young men ages 19 to 22 to the family's farm in July 2017, saying he would sell them marijuana, then killing them and burying them on the farm.
