DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, CITY OF et al Doc. 97 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA DAVID F. EVANS, ET AL.,Plaintiffs (snip) Another conclusory allegation, in Paragraph 56 at Page 14, is that Nifong and others, acting at the direction of others, tried to intimidate and discredit police offers. Paragraph 67 at Pages17-18 is but another,conclusory repeat of prior allegations. So too is Paragraph 89at page 33. And Paragraph 99 at Page 25, and Paragraph 106 at Page 28, as well as Paragraphs 118-119 at Page30. There is simply no end to the conclusory allegations in the amended complaint. Put another way, take out all the conclusory allegations condemned, or held wanting,in Twomblyand Iqbal and what is left? Little, very little. [Ergo, another demonstration that there needs to be Discovery for Plaintiffs to obtain a fair considertion of their claims.] It must be remembered that the complaint in this case, though utilized to begin the lawsuit, was hardly written for the Court alone. Rather it was clearly written for the New York Times,the Washington Post, Court TV,and of course the parents of the three plaintiffs. [Nobody, but nobody, associated with the Plaintiffs in this case, would write anything for the special attention of the New York Times or Court TV.] Did it have tobe 162 pages long, with 566 conclusory only? Of course not, but it has served its advertising purpose. [Utter hypocrisy coming from anyone associated with the prosecution of the lax players--remembering the abuse of the media by Nifong; the threats to McFadyen to release his email to the press (and its subsequent release); the threats to the non-lax players at the party to make them publicly part of the case; etc.] Edited by Quasimodo, Jun 25 2009, 05:35 PM.
