They will all rat each other out. That is what dishonorable people do. |

There ain't SQUAT in The (Duke) Chronicle about the court's decision. |

The lights have been turned on, and the roaches have nowhere left to hide. Happy April Fools day, Brodhead,and subordinate roaches of Duke and Durham. Just think of the fun, after 5 years, the arrogant accusatory snobs are now defendants facing discovery examination.What a soothing salve reading the depositions will be. This case, along with the Dr. Potti scandal will surely cause a purge in leadership at Duke. |

Hmmm. . . I'd like to think so, but who is going to force a change in leadership--the Duke Board of Lemmings (Trustees)? They are a self-replicating body, answerable to no one but themselves. They haven't acted thus far, and have accepted having to pay out $100 million or more just to keep from having certain of their number testify under oath. Is Dan Blue suddenly going to stand up and say, that he never knew that the lacrosse case was a frame-up which violated Duke students' constitutional rights? And that Duke failed its students in every way possible? Shocking! Since he was on the Board at the time, and is a longtime friend of William Barber, I don't think he can say that with a straight face. As well, he solidly backed Brodhead and "affirmed" his leadership when he was up for review. So, if anything happens now, it will only be because IMHO the bad PR will become terrible PR if they do nothing. They should show up in a body, to answer questions from the media and especially from stakeholders, as to how Duke has fared under their oversight. |

That's right. Notice how the Duke statement blames both Nifong and the Durham Police. Even Judge Beaty noted in his opinion that the parties were blaming each other. Out of the morass of accusations and counter-accusations, we now may very well get a glimmer of the truth. It is important to remember that Bob Ekstrand clearly stated he did not put all of his explosive information into the McFadyen lawsuit. He kept some important evidence in reserve. Stay tuned. |

What Judge Beaty did was "bad enough". |

Carrington ruling online: http://www.scribd.com/doc/52033039/Carrington-v-Duke-Memorandum-Decision-on-Summary-Judgment ETA: use the "book format" (choice on menu at bottom); it's much easier to use than the "scroll" version Edited by Quasimodo, Apr 1 2011, 10:28 AM.

Good Morning, President Brodhead. Sir, did you sleep... HERE... all night? Well, your suit looks rather crumpled..and you gave the cleaning staff a fright. Let’s begin my morning briefing...the “ruling” must be addressed. The media keeps calling...Sir, are you underneath the desk? Sir, it’s so hard to hear you..What’s that? “wound? and salt? Do really want to say that it was all Wahneema’s fault? Alright...”Duke made some mistakes”...”Nifong’s the reason why.” Tell them how YOU have suffered...???? Uhh...better let that last part slide. Emphasize “the facts kept changing”...yeah, we tried that spin. Problem is...that TRUTH is constant...if you WAIT till “facts” are in. There are some rumors flying...that Steele will dump it on YOU... fast. Sir, you’ve spilled your Milkshake...Oh, is that Maalox in that glass? Well, that completes our briefing. What’s on your calendar to do? Representing Duke’s values, as personified in YOU? Best to get things scheduled...before the depositions start. You can BET.... the toughest questions...won’t be just...on the lawyers part. |

CARRINGTON:
However, the examination by a SANE is NOT ministering to the 'patient', but collecting evidence for a future investigation and trial. I think Beaty is wrong here.
IOW, a nurse who falsifies records or "corrects" them after the fact, is now free to do so, because she owes no duty to those who may be investigated? (At least, she has no civil liability?) Edited by Quasimodo, Apr 1 2011, 10:08 AM.

CARRINGTON:
There are 47 plaintiffs; does he want each one to add two pages to the Complaint--for another 94 pages? After he complained about the length? Doesn't a statement of fact have to be accepted as true at this stage of the proceedings? The question now is whether the plaintiffs have alleged adequate grounds for their suits to continue. Why is he ruling on a matter of FACT, when that FACT should be presented to the jury (to decide whether there was emotional distress or not)? So he is already granting summary judgment to the defendants, without seeing the evidence because he is asserting that the FACT was not proven? Does it have to be proven now, at this stage of the proceedings, instead of at trial? |

A Christmas Song for Mike Nifong DA's roasting on a hellish fire Flames are licking at his toes Mournful chants are sung by a choir Of tortured souls sent down below Everybody knows, a false charge from a lyin' ho' Will surely send you straight to hell Wicked fiends, with their eyes all aglow Will make it hard to sleep too well They know that Nifong's gotta pay He's loaded lots of guilt and bad deeds on his way And every laxer mom is gonna spy To see if Michael really knows how to cry So I'm offering this simple gaze From now to time beyond our view Although it's been said many times, many ways Immolation for you. IM-O-LA-TION for you ==== After a fashion, Merry Christmas! |
