Well, I think Duke alumnae are paying for Bob Bennett's services, but I don't have a clue as to what he is doing.
The suits would be a good maneuver for him to undertake.
I really, really wish they would do this. It's the best way to throw a net over Nifong and checkmate the lying whore all in one fell swoop.
The defendants need to take control of this immediately, or as soon as they've exhausted the discovery process.
A civil suit in another jurisdiction seems the only way to really tie down sworn testimony of Crystal, her family, and others. No matter what they say, once they testify, you've got them tied to a story.
I would do whatever I had to do to force Crystal to testify in a deposition in a civil case where she is a defendant. She has no right to withhold her evidence until she testifies in the criminal case.
