Duke "University", having not tried but convicted its lacrosse players in public, got all unhappy when the lacrosse players used the same tactic against them, so they tried to shut down the players' website, www.dukelawsuit.com. The judge told Duke, in really polite legal language, to drop dead.
U.S. District Court Judge James Beaty denied a motion by the University and Durham to sanction a Web site posted by lawyers of the 38 unindicted members of the 2005-2006 men's lacrosse team in a hearing Tuesday.
All I can say is "yippee". Duke should get badly, badly burned in this suit, not only in monetary damages, which I hope are very big, but in serious damage to its reputation, as a deterrent to other universities thinking of going its route.Posted by sjostrom on April 16, 2008 09:11 AM
