Naaaaah.
The city is going to have to get Duke to chip in. And Duke will have to tap the 88 who cheered it on. The city can rightfully argue that the PC climate at Duke was probably the biggest contributing factor to Nifong’s misconduct. The interesting thing about mega-million lawsuits is when the perps start pointing fingers and eating their own. Pass the popcorn, please.
I still don’t understand how the 88 could be held liable. They were going on information provided by the Durham County DA and the media. They didn’t precipitate this but rather jumped on the bandwagon as did many others such as Nancy Grace and Jesse Jackson.
I'm hoping they'll need that money for their defense against a civil suit coming their way.
