DURHAM -- In a filing Tuesday in Federal Court, unindicted Duke Lacrosse players are suing Duke University, the City of Durham, Duke University professors, Mike Nifong and the DNA lab involved in the case.
The suit also names doctors and nurses who treated the alleged victim the night she claimed she'd been raped at a party. The players are also suing City Manager Patrick Baker and former Durham Police Chief Stephen Chalmers. As part of the investigation, the unindicted players had to give up DNA samples and were named in the school paper.
In the 404-page lawsuit, the players say that Duke University, the City of Durham and the other defendants were part of a "conspiracy to railroad 47 Duke University students" based on "the transparently false claim of rape, sexual offense, and kidnapping made by a clinically unreliable accuser." Also in the lawsuit, the players say that the accuser's claim was "taken virtually from her lips and fashioned into a weapon in the hands of those who would leverage outrage."

The only medical professionals sued are the doctor and the nurse who performed the sexual assault examination, and the supervising nurse who commented on the examination to the press.
******talking heads have still been saying that the lacrosse players must have been guilty of something for what else would explain that this stripper/prostitute was not charged.******
They were guilty because they were males and she was a woman. After all, it’s difficult for a woman to rape another woman. Many males have been framed for the very reasons that the DLX players experienced.
It will never end.
And, having seized the universities, they can pay themselves fat 6 figure salaries and just keep hiking tuition every time they want a raise.
So let it be written; so let it be done.
Time for that screwup Brodhead to pay for stabbing his own students in the back to appease the racebaiters and feminazis.
The lawsuit is justified, and we can only hope that it sends all of the defendents into bankruptcy! It remains very disturbing that the notorious ‘gang of 88’ continues to escape punishment. Maybe this suit will deal with them. Hope so.
My generation still remembers Tawana, and not fondly.
SANE personnel never say anyone was raped or sexually assaulted. They never make such a determination. They only report what they observe.
Except in this case.
That means you weren't around during Watergate when "unindicted conspirator" was practically a daily quote in every newspaper and report in the nation.
As much as I detest Mike Nifong for what he did, I hold a special dislike for the “Gang of 88”.
They, in a newspaper ad, indicted and convicted the entire team.
And with one exception, none of them have apologized. The lack of an apology may be one of deliberate ommission (ex: several are too embarrased to apologize) but in other cases, several of the “Gang of 88” have stated that they will never apologize for what they did.
That, in itself, is extremely inexcusable.
I hope they put Nifong, the university administration, the Gang of 88, and everyone else involved through at least a solid year of living hell, and that they come away from this with tens of millions each.
“The gang of 88? They might want to think about leaving the US and hiding out in Panama.”
Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking. Some of them got promoted and some were hired by more prestigious schools. I’m sure Harvard and Yale are now trying to recruit many of the low-IQ racists from Klan 88.
They have tenure so it is almost impossible to fire them even if the University would like to (but the University does not want it - it is totally controlled by these diversity pimps).
My take also.
“Unfortunatley this a typical tactic of the scum lawyers. Sue everyone and see what happens. The nurses and doctors will likely be released from the suit by the court AFTER they run up huge legal bills with no chance of recovering any of their losses or their good names.”
It seems you haven’t been following the case. The SANE nurse was an essential enabler for the hoax. She practically falsified the results and changed them as Nifong created new story line. Her comments and “analysis” were totally unacceptable. Her job was to collect evidence (e.g. DNA). Instead, she wrote some feminist crap how rape is about power and she never faced a woman who lied about rape -> so the victim must have been raped. It was not her job to provide this analysis. She broke the rules in many ways and enabled Nifong to along.
She clearly should lose her license and go to jail for her part.
“Hopefully they’ll get dropped from the suit. They had no hand in crafting the case or falsifying reports. They were just collecting evidence and had no reason to disbelieve her. And from what we’ve heard about her, um, “dating” habits there was plenty to collect.”
Stop spreading false information. Please read the the lawsuit e.g. in comment 106 or check the facts before making false statements.
Wait a minute...isn't there such a thing as innocent until proven guilty? Constitutional rights? Due process of law? FERPA? Not at today's schools and universities, it appears.
You are probably thinking of David Evan's mother. She is not a rich suburban housewife. She is a very smart, very connected D.C. lady who is Executive Director of the Women's Golf Association or something like that. She is definitely the wrong mother to tick off.
Actually she ID'd FOUR attackers. One of the three in this suit was that 4th person she ID'd. He wasn't even at the party so they didn't go after an indictment of him.
