I guess, given the mess they made, what else can these guys do? Gotta stretch out the language a little bit -- so the fact that Mangum's stories were wildly, preposterously inconsistent gets covered by the admission that her accounts "were not fully consistent". Himan agrees that he assisted Addison, but he sure didn't "collude" with him, because collusion sounds really bad. Assisting is way better. Similarly, Gottlieb lays on the cant term "affirmative duty to investigate" to mean not the requirement to look into allegations, but the requirement to presume that the allegations were true. Seems like a whole lot of Durhamites and Dukesters felt that same affirmative duty. <br /> <br />From the earlier post: Durham's claim that “Plaintiffs’ own conduct was a superseding/intervening cause of any injury or damage sustained by Plaintiffs” is simply a generalized re-statement of the argument that the LAX players caused their own problems, because they wouldn't have had any trouble if they hadn't been at a party that involved strippers. carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175459359561212965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-32109085759880897022014-02-23T01:56:31.409-05:002014-02-23T01:56:31.409-05:004:31:, and exactly what justicevdidbyou think wou...4:31:, and exactly what justicevdidbyou think would happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-88760272402031720862014-02-22T17:40:22.739-05:002014-02-22T17:40:22.739-05:00I've followed this from the start.
