They contend there was no constitutional violation because the players never went to trial.

In addition, "White Duke lacrosse players are not a protected class recognized as needing protection by the government" under federal civil-rights law, lawyers for Baker and the police commanders said.

Glad to hear this bastards life is a living hell.

I see. So we must belong to a “protected class recognized as needing protection by the government” before we are allowed civil rights as guaranteed under the Constitution? Thank you for that civics lesson, Mayor Baker.

They were also likely to stress that prosecutors don't have to present exculpatory evidence to grand juries.

WTF. The case should not even be brought to the GJ if such evidence exists.

“White Duke lacrosse players are not a protected class recognized as needing protection by the government”

Talk about brazen racism on display!

This kind of news makes me very happy . . . that a liberal coward and dirtbag got HIS! I’m excited. I hope he gets a job maybe at Wal-Mart passing out carts. Or maybe that would be too good for the creep!

Pretty much defines the mindset of this case from the beginning.

"White Duke lacrosse players are not a protected class recognized as needing protection by the government" under federal civil-rights law, lawyers for Baker and the police commanders said."

I can only hope here that at some point, a judge will openly question the qualifications to practice law of the lawyer that actually asserted this!

I don’t care if he ever gets a job but his pension should belong to the kids.

“They contend there was no constitutional violation because the players never went to trial.”

Here's the math.

6 Lacrosse players suing * $30 mill /player = $180 million dollars.

You include all liabilities in a bankruptcy petition, even those you are contesting, if you want debt discharge, in other words if you know what's good for you.

[El Gran Salseron]

30 million each for 6 lacrosse players = 180 million.

Pretty balls response on the part of the missing in action Chief of Police.
