I am not saying that it is realistic that she can prove damages. Just from reading Cash Michaels writing as a self-annointed spokesperson for the "black community" there are dollar signs there. I understand filing a lawsuit and winning a judgment are totally different things. I just see this as an attempt to set things up for a suit. He has made numerous statements about the suffering of the FA. With all the suffering she has supposedly endured, a suit to recover "damages" is only logical.

Go read "our hearts world"; the black community is not bailing out on her. Not at all. They are expressing some anger with Nifong after Cash's latest missive but totally supporting her. Justification is not necessary for them to proceed with a civil suit. At this point it is all about M O N E Y. IMO.

It may be about money for her at this point in the black people's view of the world, but if that's the case, it's wishful thinking on their part, not unlike reparations are.

"Justification is not necessary for them to proceed with a civil suit. At this point it is all about M O N E Y. IMO."

With all due respect you are 100% wrong. Here's why:

1. The Duke 3 have no money. They have rich parents, not the same thing at all. They are judgment proof.

2. Civil cases allow detailed depositions, which have very low standards as to what can be asked. Precious cannot withstand day after day of testimony under oath.

3. There will be a civil case, the Duke 3 vs. Durham, federal civil rights case brought in federal Court by top, top civil lawyers--who will be paid attorney fees by Durham if they win any damages at all! (The Kennedy amendment to Section 1983).

$) From potential attorneys for Precious's point of view this case is a worse case scenario--up against the A-team of DC attorneys, funded by rich people, with a good chance of recovering all of their fees, the Duke 3's counsel will be filing as many motions and going to as many depositions as possible. And Precious attorneys certainly won't be paid by her, and they can't recover anything from college kids.

This isn't about a civil suit. She's got mental issues and drug issues, she's a pawn for Nifong.
