[Not sure I’m on board with this part. Depose as witnesses maybe, but sue? Not unless maybe they falsified evidence or something.]

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.

Actually she had so little sperm in her that the SBI refused to even test the rape kit. The way they found what they found is that it was sent to an independent lab with a very sensitive test. It was so sensitive that apparently the lab director contaminated the test with a single flake of skin anf that was picked up too.

If the Ho had told the truth, would she still have written down rape? An inflamed vagina takes time. The rape would have had to occur for “hours”.

Maybe, maybe not.

If the emergency room nurse were not qualified by education or experience to perform the test and express an opinion, her actions could be found to be tortuous. If her supervisor and employer knew of her lack of qualification and allowed her to conduct the test and render a professional opinion nonetheless, they could be found to have ratified her tort or to have committed an independent one.

Yes, it’s very painful for me, having gone through virtually the same process with my son three years before this Duke fiasco hit. We, too, were chastised by school officials, both publicly and privately. Even after our son’s accuser admitted on the witness stand that she had made it up.

There are, and always will be, people who will be able to pick at splinters while tripping over the log. President Broadhead will never admit he almost ruined the lives of hundreds of people in his rush to take up the standard for a liar — whatever the circumstances that prompted the possibility of her lie to present itself. Broadhead will never accept it. If he could EVER see what he did, his family would have to hide the razor blades.

That’s “tortious”, by the way.

You obviously have not been following the case very carefully, have you. The “nurse” who first treated the “victim” repeatedly changed her story about what Mangum said every time Nifong changed his story. The nurse deserves to be charged.

nothing amounting to a tort on the part of the others

You sound like an attorney, so perhaps you are right. But from a layman's perspective I would think requiring them to take DNA tests, canceling their Lacrosse season, public humiliation/accusations, all based on false testimony, which was known to be false by Nifong, would all amount to something.

Time will tell.

Agree completely, Eva. None of those 88 are capable of holding a real job. Let’s face it. Lib arts departments are largely holding areas for folks who really have no talent. (Apologies to those who hold these positions with integrity...we all know you are there. However, it might help your rapidly shrinking image to actually rise up against the loons ruining your reputation. Get rid of ‘em. ) Tenure is for the talentless.

I think the Humanities Dean who fabricated outrage in her “We’re Listening” newspaper ad did it because she knew that rather than be punished, she would be rewarded for her call-to-riot. However, if sued, she’d get a pass. Suing could backfire on the victims and those that support them. Caution.

This is not a case in which the State wants to or will claim Sovereign Immunity.

Because I think she ought to be.

I live 35 mi from Durham and haven’t heard anything about her for a while.
