They settled with Duke.

(Ping!)

I think they will settle with the city, if the policemen involved with the case and the chief are replaced or at least punished and it goes in their files, personally I think the Chief should be fired, you know the old, The buck stops here thing.

I’d be really curious for someone to really go through Duke’s financial statements, and try to figure out what the amount was on the settlement. I bet it wasn’t cheap.

There is some serious dishonesty in the local government, and the insurance company is afraid that any investigations will only help the discovery process in favor of the Duke lacrosse players and against the City of Durham. If they only have $5 million in liability coverage, the insurance company may as well go ahead and prepare that $5 million check. The Duke players should continue to pursue the case against the County as well.

I watched the local news, and Durham Mayor Bell was being interviewed. It doesn’t take much to figure out what is going on behind the scenes! He had that “deer in the headlight” look.

Well, well, well, old friend. Looks like folks have discovered the spot that needs scratchin’. Any more news on Nifong? I presume he’s just going to fade away and live comfortably on his retirement in his judgment-proof home with his judgment-proof family. I also assume that this will take on the proverbial downhill trajectory of the ball of feces. I’m sorry for that, as I don’t think the police had anyway to stop the man on the mission from God, i.e. Nifong.

With all my heart, I hope this sends a message to overzealous and morally bankrupt L.E., D.A.s and Judges who think this is a game or who are bored with their usual suspects and would like to meet new friends from high places.

Only three settled, not the other 43 impacted.
