I think Mr. Evans, Sr. is in a good position to launch the counter-suit. Before I was in Immigration Law, I swam with the sharks in the In-House Law Department of a large oil concern for 20 years. One of the tricks of the trade is to file a lawsuit (the mother of all lawsuits) and just keep it going year after year after year. My son's grandchildren won't see the settlement of some of these suits. It will be hard to remember why the suit was filed in the first place.
It takes very little time to formulate and can keep the AV occupied. The beauty of it is that she won't have the funds to keep it up, unless, of course, the New Black Panthers have the money to throw down a rat hole. No one wins in a situation like this, it's just for the principle. Can't find many principled people anymore. I don't think even Jesse has that kind of gelt. This Gary Willis (is that his name?), now he might want to take it on, but if these young men are found innocent, then I think we can all dig down a wee bit and finance the litigation.
I know the criminal defense attorneys would veto it, but I think civil cases should be started now, and discovery used to force out the communications had between Nifong and the New Black Panthers, and all such communications to outsiders.
The civil case would allow the development of much more information connecting all the bad actors together in this conspiracy of politicians and whores.
Suing Mangum now is a good idea because it will create a huge chasm between Mangum and Nifong. Divide and conquer. The pressure on Mangum to rat out Nifong to save her own butt would be tremendous. Even Mangum doesn't want a big judgment hanging around her neck the rest of her life. If that was something that wouldn't faze her, she wouldn't be going to college. She obviously wants something better for herself. A big judgment would ruin her plans for a legitimate career. Judgments can be renewed every ten years and are becoming harder to discharge in bankruptcy. She would be facing wage garnishments, liens, and bank account levies for the rest of her life, unless she chose to remain a hooker until she ruptures herself, dies of a disease or a drug overdose, or is beaten half to death by an unhappy pimp.
Reade Seligmann has a solid alibi and is in a good position to sue her now. The other two innocents would not have to testify due to their Fifth Amendment protection.
As unorthodox such a step would be, this is a unique case and the most forceful offense is called for. The defense should press their advantage in culling Mangum from Nifong and the criminal case.
Divide and conquer.
I have been involved in several suits and when we were able to wait out the other side so they filed the first suit, we, as defendants, always waived the jury trial and opted for the Judge. I would hope the LAX players would wait for the AV to sue them (hopefully in Federal Court) and then let a Judge, not jury, decide their fate.
Count me in.
(And I appreciate the candor of your posts)
I don't think the panthers would finance her defense. She's a loser and she's only valuable to them so long as she can be maintanied in an aura of black victimhood. Further, she might be forced to testify about mistreatment from a black pimp. They aren't going to want their signature on anybody with anything bad to say about a brother. There will be a lot more exposed about her employment as a hooker in the context of a civil case than there would be in a criminal case. The panthers are in it for notoriety and money, not because they give a rat's patoot about Mangum. They're just johns of a different stripe to her.
