Falsely accused Duke players sue
Generally I don't like seeing people sue each other in this society, but here's a situation I can support.

Or do you believe the bulk of cases which the media reports to belittle the judicial system have an element that seems dubious? If you were a reporter, would you report about the millions of cases where a creditor justly sues a deadbeat debtor for nonpayment? Would that be interesting?

The main problem I have with this is that while these spoiled jokers didn't commit crimes, and as I have posted, this DA like many is/was positivively loathsome, they still no doubt behaved cruelly and like asses, and will get rich for it. Only in America. They will live not to regret that gauntlet the corrupt DA put them through. I wonder if they are reflective at all about what they did do?

I consider being at a party where there is a stripper and getting wasted to be shameful behavior (I also acknowedge that there are many people out there that probably don't consider it shameful at all). What I'm unclear on is how you consider that behavior to be "cruel"? Look, I don't really have a beef here - I just saw you say they behaved cruelly and that didn't square with my understanding of the facts. If the word 'cruel' was a misstatement or hyperbole then own it as such and I take no issue with what you said. |

This is the quote I love:
"This is not about money for the boys, though obviously they deserve compensation," said Richard D. Emery, a civil rights attorney representing Seligmann. "This is about sending a message to public officials who only get the message when they have to pay the money." I love it when a lawyer who stands to rake in 40% of a $30,000,000 lawsuit has the balls to stand up and say it's not about the money. I guarantee you that lawyer's wife has already picked out her new Jaguar.
