We had been assuming that a civil suit would follow, but this his the first time I've read that there have been actual conversations between the family and lawyers concerning this matter.
There was an article about this last month or late March. It was in the context of whether Jesse Jackson would come down to Durham or not, and it was reported then that Crystal's mother had met with Gary, and he said then he could not and would not take any action until Crystal met with him and asked him for help. Apparently Crystal still has not met with Gary. Perhaps it's because she doesn't want to go any further with this.
