Speaking on her behalf, Hannah’s lawyer shared she was drinking the night of the incident and, at some point, left her drink unattended. They added,
“Shortly thereafter she has no memory of the events that occurred during, or after the concert. Hannah is deeply troubled by these events. She regrets any actions she took that offended anyone, including law enforcement.”
