Ms. Grimes bills are quite extensive especially given that she was brutally attacked in her own home. There is no guilt to be determined. if you read earlier articles, Ms. Saban admitted she hit her.

I guess
liability might be a better word choice than
guilt.
But the incident occurred in Kristen Saban's apartment (which apparently matters), and Grimes initiated the confrontation/aggression (according to the documents).
That Grimes initiated the confrontation and that Saban aggressed/hit Grimes do not appear to be facts that are in dispute. Saban's Motion for Summary Judgment granted by the AL Circuit Court is here:

The she said/she said would seemingly involve aspects of the incident (like Grimes allegedly grabbing Saban's neck initially) which would play out in court. Certainly Grime's original complaint and Saban's Answer (both linked above) differ considerably where the facts are concerned.
As per my understanding (not a legal mind here) -- the AL Supreme Court's reversal of the Circuit Court's granting of Saban's Motion for Summary Judgment is not a ruling in favor of Grimes based on the facts, but just an acknowledgment that there is/are fact(s) in dispute such that Grimes is entitled to proceed with her suit.
Seems like an embarrassing situation of two stupid (possibly intoxicated?) girls in a cat fight -- one started it and the other finished it.
