Wait and see. False charges could result in only a misdemeanor. Believe me filing a lawsuit has been the plan all along. This is just setting it up. They are going try to make it seem that she was used by a corrupt DA and Duke did nothing to stop it. Anyone can file a lawsuit. Whether she could win in court is another thing. But, don't bet against Durham County rolling over and paying her off. Also, Durham PD is probably to be included in the suit.
I don't disagree she should be a defendant in a lawsuit, but Cash Michaels has written enough in forums that you can see where this is headed.
So Plan A was for Crystial & Co. to extort money from rich Dukies in return for dropping the charges. Didn't work. Now to Plan B...
"They are going try to make it seem that she was used by a corrupt DA and Duke did nothing to stop it."
And they'd be right.
And furthermore, if the AV wants to write a book about how she was pressured by a corrupt DA into making and then maintaining the charges, she will emerge in the public eye as another victim of this tragedy; her book will sell, there is the prospect of a TV movie, etc.
However, if she stays with Nifong, she will in the end only apppear as an accomplice of Nifong, and there won't be any
book or movie nor anything else.
Duke did nothing to stop it? Who are you kidding? She came up with false allegations, but now is going to sue people because they didn't stop her from making false allegations?
I don't see a cause of action for the FA. She was used by a corrupt DA and Duke did nothing to stop it? What is Duke supposed to do? Duke has no control over the DA or DPD.
The FA started this entire thing by making false allegations. Who forced her to do that? No one.
