I wonder if Valor can file a counter-suit to recoup their loses in having to defend themselves against bogus allegations?

Being able to do so, or even having it as an automatic part of the process, seems like it would really cut down on the nuber of frivolous lawsuits.

I don't think so. That would mean any defendant in a civil trial who "wins" would do so as well.

I would agree to an extent. I wouldn't want to see a losing plantif automatically have to pay court costs. There are already procedures in place for recouping losses by defending one's self in frivolous suits.

The reality is that the suit should have been thrown out. This was an intentional act of murder. There was no negligence on the part of Valor. As far as repsonsibility or liability go for McCray and the school, I don't know.
