A group of local lawyers all went to dinner least night.
Topic was Nifong and the damages NC will pay to the accused. There are questions of sovereign immunity, of course, and other issues but we all agreed that this was only the tip of the litigious iceberg.
In the civil litigation that is sure to follow, Nifong is one target, with few dollars, etc. The real targets will be the Duke 88. These are the professors who signed the now infamous letter adjudging the lacrosse players guilty and worse. That letter was then published as a full page ad in local newspapers and reprinted across the country..
These professors acted as individuals, with no corporate protection, insurance or shield. They acted outside their employment by Duke, etc. As such, they can be attacked and picked off, one at a time, with full and unrestricted individual liability, as targets of libel, slander and false light litigation. With no insurance, they wil even have to pay for their own lawyers.
Plaintiffs are well within statute of limitations.
Of course, as soon as one professor is served, he/she will go running to his/her lawyer. Their lawyer will play “let’s make a deal” by implicating others. Then they will sue the most hated professor, which will set the high dollar damages expectation for the rest of the cases. Others will then want to settle fast.
Even better, each of the three plaintiffs cam move separately against all 88 individually. The profs will fold like a house of cards.
Lots of fun. Big dollars.
Seems like they're at least complicit in libel. Also referring to it as a disaster and seeming to blame the Lacrosse players for adding to campus racism because they hired a stripper?
I hope they all die poor.
There are questions of that pesky first amendment. I note that (post 9/11) that is an outdated concept to some
May you slappeth hands, and stripeth assets from wrong doers and may the knowledge of you go forth.
Amen
(Yes, I do know that God happens to FReep on a regular basis)
just made my day.
This has to be one o the delightful assaults on liberalism that I have ever seen. Guilty white liberal professors (most of them) finally getting justice for their continued war and hatred against the white male.

Ok. I see post #46
The Duke 88, like Ward Churchill and a host of others, have been led to believe they are privileged princes, free of all ethical constraint, immune from responsibility, above accountability. Much of the dysfunction of American academia is due to this excrescence of pathological leftwing narcissism.
It would have a bracing effect on higher education generally if a gaggle of trash like the Duke faculty were taken down and stomped on.
And dont forget the country code as well. I can’t wait for these POS to start hating life.
The liberals are so quick to shoot their mouth off with no consideration as to the accuracy of their statements or the true consequences of their actions.
I’ve often wondered if Al Gore and his followers will some day be held accountable if/when it is established that their statements and political actions were reckless and resulted in billions of dollars in waste or worse.
I haven’t watched Nancy very much, what did she have to say?
I’m wishing that a couple of reporters who jumped on the ‘evil rich white boys’ bandwagon instantly, should be added to the team, but they are probably protected in some way from spreading their inflamatory baseless opinions all over their newspapers.
too bad.
OK, so I need a little work first
Trying to read that article was like wading thru waist-deep mud. Couldn’t get past the self-serving opinion of a bigot who spouted off without knowing the facts, and didn’t care about the facts anyway.
I’d like to see a full page ad run with 88 apologies. Think there is any chance of that? lol
The LaCrosse Coach should be reinstated with back pay, a raise and whatever other damages his lawyers can get for him.
As far as I’ve been able to tell the case doesn’t exist in Nancy’s universe anymore.
Why not go after Duke itself? Didn’t the president fire the Lax coach, cancel the season, and make some of the same assertions that Nifong and the Duke 88 made? I would think that Duke Endowment might be a juicy target for these three wronged students.
Yeah...I agree there's nothing there! They didn't liable the boys in any way. And what do they have to apologise for, comments about how they believe racism is still an issue in this country?
All the comments were mostly generally about racism. Please someone point out what is wrong about this ad other than the normal socialist, liberal dribble?
