BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A judge in Tuscaloosa was wrong to throw out a lawsuit claiming the daughter of University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban beat up a sorority sister after a night of drinking, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The justices revived the lawsuit filed by Sarah Grimes against one-time friend Kristen Saban over what evidence showed was a brawl sparked by a Facebook post in August 2010.

Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge James Roberts dismissed the suit in February, citing Alabama’s “Stand Your Ground Law” as he ruled Kristen Saban was only defending herself during a fight that left Grimes with injuries.
