The Court permitted discovery to proceed. Excerpt: In addition, Plaintiffs have alleged that Steel and Dzau participated in the creation of false reports, and that Steel, Brodhead, Dzau, and Burness engaged in obstruction of justice by attempting to conceal their participation in the alleged conspiracies to avoid liability in future lawsuits. In support of this allegation, Plaintiffs point to an e-mail among Duke officials regarding the need to meet to “get their stories straight,” with additional instructions to destroy the e-mail immediately. (Second Am. Compl. ¶1198). While not evidence of obstruction in and of itself, these allegations at least raise a plausible claim that Defendants acted with intent to obstruct justice, including intent to obstruct Plaintiffs’ ability to obtain a legal remedy. It will ultimately be Plaintiffs’ burden to establish actual obstruction of justice by these Defendants, but the Court will allow this claim to go forward at this time. Duke settled with the Duke Three and got a confidentiality provision for a payout. How much would it be worth to Duke, Steel, Broadhead (and the PC extremists generally) to settle confidentiallly and would the plaintiffs be willing to settle confidentially? Some things are more important than money--like exposing the way radicals have taken control of much of America's educational system (preferably before Election Day 2012). |

Hi Mike! Wonderful to "see" you again! I agree whole-heartedly with your post. I pray we will see these villains..and the ideology they "serve"... thoroughly exposed. |

"How much would it be worth to Duke, Steel, Broadhead (and the PC extremists generally) to settle confidentiallly and would the plaintiffs be willing to settle confidentially?" The price would have to include dropping lawsuits against all others besides Duke, would it not? |

Not necesssarily. Not all parties have to settle. |

Mike, it's my guess that it is highly unlikely ALL parties would settle. |

Just checked the justice 4nifong site - nothing at all posted about the Beatty's rulings. Guess they are too busy working on the super dooper graphics - looks like something designed by a junior high student (actually, that is probably an insult to your average junior high student). |

REPOST:
Of how much value to the plaintiffs would public questioning of Brodhead, Steel, Burness, Trask, Wasiolek, and others be? And in the presence of the plaintiffs? And where the community could hear it? How much would this advance their feeling that justice had been done? How much will their healing be retarded if this is not done?

Now cks, be fair. As I said on another thread, the good Doctor has to now tie Beaty in as a covert operative to the Carpetbagger Jihad. This is quite a challenging piece of fiction writing even with his vast experience. I sympathize,

BTW, litigants do not have to agree to confidentiality. That does not have to be included in an agreement. Even if amounts are kept confidential, litigants do not have to agree to be bound not to speak about other issues or about the opposite side. All these things are negotiable, and need not be given up. |

Hey, Linwood has done just as well as all the other defense counsel combined and he hasn't paid a cent. Walt-in-Durham |
