In a just world, you are correct. My sense from the conversation was that the LAX players want to clear their names, graduate and get as far from Durham as they can ASAP.
I have sued a few folks for truly egregious behavior and it really costs a lot of money and time and it eats at your gut 24/7.
But if I were a parent of one of these boys, I would have him transfer to another school and begin several suites, one against Duke, and one against Nifong and the informant. They would take years to reach fruition, but maybe it needs to be done?
