Dozens of Unindicted Lacrosse Players File Federal Lawsuit Against DukeThursday, February 21, 2008DURHAM, N.C. — More than three dozen current and former Duke lacrosse players plan to file a federal lawsuit against the university, the city of Durham and others involved in the case.A spokesman for Washington-based attorney Charles J. Cooper said the civil lawsuit will be filed Thursday on behalf of 38 players who were not charged in the notorious case.Spokesman Robert Bork Jr. declined Wednesday night to release the specific allegations made in the 30-count, 100-page lawsuit."It covers a whole lot of things, including violation of privacy," Bork said. "It's not just emotional distress."Duke officials declined to comment.Former Durham County prosecutor Mike Nifong won indictments against three lacrosse players in 2006, accusing them of raping a stripper at a team party.But the case unraveled amid the accuser's constantly changing story and a lack of evidence. State prosecutors who took over the case dropped all charges and said the accused players were innocent. Nifong was later disbarred for his handling of the case.The three accused players reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Duke in June, but later filed their own federal civil rights lawsuit against Nifong, the City of Durham and the police detectives who handled the case.
Personally, I want whatever award/settlement to come straight from the paychecks of the "Duke 88".
I'll bet Durham wishes they had never heard the name Nifong.
