On a personal note, I wasn't too impressed with the notion of the Goldmans going to civil court to get what they couldn't in criminal court. (I didn't agree with the criminal court judgment. But, it seemed slimy to basically retry him in civil court with lower standards.). It doesn't seem like it's done the Goldmans a lot of good. They seem to be obsessed with revenge. At some point it seems like you have to live with the outcome of the criminal trial and move on.
But, that's just me. As you said, it's their right.

[/BQUOTE :So, too, in this case. These defendants (some 30+ of them, as I understand it) have brought cases that are on their face in accordance with torte law. So long as they have standing, and can make a prima facie case that it is at least possible they suffered damages, the cases should go forward, whether you like it or not. That, again, is *the law*. |
