The District Attorney's office is building a case against Segue Construction and its employees after six people were killed and seven seriously injured on June 16 when a balcony at the Berkeley campus collapsed. The balcony collapsed after rotted wood support beams gave way.
District Attorney Nancy O'Malley and her office are pursuing a criminal probe over the incident and are looking at lawsuits filed against Segue in the past as a way to show potential criminal negligence. At least three Bay Area residential buildings filed suits against general contractor Segue alleging water seeped into wooden structures, including balconies.
According to O'Malley, possible charges against Segue could include involuntary manslaughter.
