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."

[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.
Excellent!
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”.
Great news.
Is she in prison?

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.
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.

Why do you ask?
> “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.”
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.
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.
Have no fear. She’s well thought of by the Red Chinese Army.
Because I think she ought to be.
I live 35 mi from Durham and haven’t heard anything about her for a while.
