Marcel Barthel is seeking medical records to confirm the injuries alleged by plaintiff Richard Reap in their ongoing legal case.
Barthel (Ludwig Kaiser / El Grande Americano in WWE) has been accused of misdemeanor battery against Reap during an incident on April 23 in Orange County, Florida. Reap alleges he was punched several times and sustained a torn rotator cuff and a concussion from the incident.
Barthel filed a subpoena on Thursday requesting Reap’s medical records “related to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the injuries he allegedly sustained in the incident underlying this prosecution.”
Reap’s attorney is said to have objected to the subpoena being issued, as Barthel is requesting that the court order Reap to produce the records.
An attempt by Barthel to dismiss the charge based on Florida’s Stand Your Ground law was denied by Judge Andrew L. Cameron last month.
A pre-trial conference involving the parties is scheduled for December 17.
