MINNEAPOLIS -- The wrongful death lawsuit against former Minnesota Vikings tight end Joe Senser and his wife Amy has resumed after a four-month break.
An attorney for the family of hit-and-run victim Anousone Phanthavong met with the Sensers and their attorney Friday to talk about evidence-gathering issues.
The Star Tribune reports results of the discussion are confidential.
Judge Bruce Peterson placed the civil case on hold in October. He ordered that neither side gather evidence while a criminal investigation continued.
Amy Senser is scheduled to stand trial April 23 on two counts of criminal vehicle homicide. She is charged with striking Phanthavong on an I-94 ramp and leaving the scene last August.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson contends Amy Senser did not know she struck someone that night. Nelson filed a motion Friday to dismiss the charges.
