Given that the Durham officials and those from Duke involved in this case have made no real effort to change their modus operandi, it is of utmost importance that the plaintiffs hold the defendants feet tot he fire. One can only hope that the judge who is set to tule in this case realizes how important it is that discovery be allowed to proceed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-9552707365708913232008-06-26T11:36:00.000-04:002008-06-26T11:36:00.000-04:00A commenter on another thread posed the theory tha...A commenter on another thread posed the theory that Duke/Durham and their well connected Democratic attornies were going to stall till after the election in hope of more favorable treatment from an Obama administration. Not so farfetched as it sounded to me when I first read it. The usual reason for lawyers to stall is because they know their clients are in the soup and they try to protect them from a judge and jury as long as they can. This may be a little more complicated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-84046410237139533642008-06-26T07:33:00.000-04:002008-06-26T07:33:00.000-04:00It probably will never happen, but the presiding j...It probably will never happen, but the presiding judge should respond by ordering the defendants to either defend the case or pay up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
