from the ultra-exclusive Maidstone Club in East Hampton was a tragic, alcohol-fueled “calamity” between best buddies, a lawyer for the accused told The Post.
“These are best friends. Their families are friends. There was a lot of alcohol involved on everybody’s part. There was some kind of a tussle and this fellow has passed,” Dern’s lawyer, John Ray told The Post. “It’s a calamity of the first order. Nothing that happened was intentional.” He said his client cooperated with local police, was let go and then arrested after an autopsy report revealed a broken bone in Somers’ neck.
