After much deliberation, the question on everyone's mind has finally been answered: Freddy Fazbear's Pizza will stay open. Yes, somehow amidst all the trials and tribulations, the now infamous pizzeria will reopen its neon-lit doors this coming spring. This is a far later date than the establishment's projected January 16 reopening date, but to many, the most shocking fact surrounding this story is simply the notion that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza will remain open.

Local paramedic Mike Tyson had this to say:

"Freddy's has had a bloodstained history. We got calls from that place all the time. Mostly food poisoning, but occasionally we get a play tunnel injury or malfunctioning robot burn. That E. coli outbreak was awful. Kids being rushed in from all over around the clock, vomit spewing out of their mouths and even nastier stuff spewing out of their bottoms.

"I've worked as a paramedic for 35 years. There hasn't been a place responsible for that many emergencies in my whole career. The management just doesn't care. I can't even fathom why they're going to reopen it."

The verdict reached at the county courthouse on Sunday evening was extremely divisive, and only stood to separate the two parties even further. The court ruled in favor of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, on the grounds that Andrew Brown, the 32-year-old man who is in critical condition after the accident left him without most of his frontal lobe, had been mishandling the animatronic that landed on him.

The court found revealing evidence on the Foxy animatronic, such as Andrew's hand prints on his chest, which led them to believe that the man had been playing a bit too roughly with the highly advanced walking animatronic.

In addition, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza presented incriminating evidence regarding the animatronic itself, which was brought into the courthouse on Thursday evening in order to demonstrate the technology that made the robots nearly impossible to tip over on their own. The members of the jury took turns hitting Foxy with a foam baseball bat, and found that no matter how hard they bashed him, he would not fall down.

A small commotion was raised over a bit of brain matter falling in a woman's hair from the fox's metal throat, and another was raised after the victim's brother ran into the courtroom with a hammer and began smashing the robot in the head, but other than those two incidents, the demonstration went over well, and the jury seemed convinced.

The Brown family however, was highly insulted by the notion that Andrew was in the wrong for mishandling Foxy. Marjory Brown, Andrew's wife, testified in court with the following statement:

"My husband was an IAAPA member and highly involved in the amusement industry. He owned a Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre in the area and loved the characters to bits. He knew the inner workings of the robots like the back of his hand. There is absolutely no way that my husband could have abused that robot. I was there. It fell!"

However, even after Mrs. Brown's tearful testimony, the jury remained unconvinced, and the court ruled in favor of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

We tracked down Marjory outside of the courthouse just after the trial had finished, and she had this to say:

"I knew it was going to end like that. I just knew it. That company has a deal with the devil to stay in business. I don't know what it's going to take to shut that place down, a child being killed in a back room or something, I guess.

"But, even after all that happened, I could be wrong. Maybe that's what Andy would have wanted."

An associate of the Browns has informed us that the family has made the descision to pull Andrew's plug. They have not yet given a reason for this, but he is now at peace finally.

The local Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre will be demolished due to unforeseen financial difficulties, and the lack of an experienced manager, but friends of Andrew's are starting a charity fund to build a garden on the grounds of the former children's eatery.

We wish them much luck, and if you, the viewer, wishes to donate to the cause, please call the number on your screen now, thank you.
