A New York bar bouncer who was convicted of beating a 32-year-old customer to death was hired despite having a “lengthy” criminal history and a propensity for violence, a new lawsuit alleges.

Scott, of Centereach, died in September 2022, 11 days after he was savagely beaten by the bar's bouncer, David Cruz.
