Thanks for the information. My heart goes out to those parents having to spend all that money and probably mortgage their homes to pay for the defense of their sons.
Yeah, I agree ... LOL. But, I did want to know if any one else heard Abrams this morning.
Guennie, I have said from the beginning that these parents must be getting the "education" of a lifetime.
And I think they should sue everybody that they can.
Their sons have been smeared by this DA and it they break the town of Durham, it too damn bad.
Somebody should have reeled him in.
Go, Girl, Go! There is such a thing as righteous indignation.
Me too. My husband and I are furious at the way this has been handled by the DA and worried if they don't get a change in venue it will end up like the OJ case.
Ok ok, That's the one where there's special circumstances when someone uses a grease gun.
All I wanted was an answer and you give crap. Hell I wasn't even replying to you.
Why would the city of Durham, consisting of the taxpayers of Durham, volunteer to pay millions to the families via a jury verdict. I don't see a successful civil case, even if you could prove the grounds for malicious prosecution.
Isn't the DA an employee of the City of Durham?
And I guess many of us are feeling it. :)
Usually, the DA represents a county and not just a city.
I've seen court cases on tv where the judge would see proof (ATM and cab fare) early in the case that prompted him to immediately dismiss the charges. Hopefully, something like this will happen here. To think, these families have had to shell out $4K for bond, no telling what in attorney fees, and to top it all off, they have tuition and board expenses too. What a sham!
In the movie, he doesn't say that to anyone. Or to himself.
They won't have a choice.
Ditto your post.
All you wanted was to whine.
"Their sons have been smeared by this DA and it they break the town of Durham, it too damn bad.
Somebody should have reeled him in."
Indeed.
The US would be much better off if MANY attorneys, in venues across the country, were "reeled in", either legislatively or via much more liberal (apologies for the profanity) use of attorney malpractice filings.
For starters, it appears this DA sould be pulled out of bed at 4:00 AM and led off in cuffs himself.
Yes, those are.
