You're right about the general subject matter jurisdiction for federal cases. FWIW, the complaint against the Nkemdiches wasn't filed in the United States District Court. It was filed in Lafayette County Circuit Court. Here's a link to the first page of the complaint.
They're both Georgia citizens, so federal jurisdiction is not applicable.
I'm surprised they didn't have the case moved to GA. Seems as if they'd get a more favorable jury in Georgia compared to Oxford

He had the general idea, though.
It wouldn't have shocked me if the plaintiff tried a little forum shopping in Georgia. I've always hated having to deal with concurrent jurisdiction and forum non conveniens.
