Defamation Suit Plaintiffs Want Jim Boeheim In True Road Court

I didn’t come up with that title for the fanshot. Guess I should have taken a couple of your classes.

which court you want a judge to laugh your frivolous lawsuit out of ?

Pretty soon though, he wont even have an avenue to spew his idiocy. Do they even allow facebook pages in prison?

Before commenting on the statement that his grandmother released this morning?!?

And you call yourself a journalist…

The most I have giggled since the Cincy game and Bill Raftery’s 75 decibel “deep thrusts” comment.

“Mr. Davis was repeatedly told, from a variety of sources, that because Fine was part of the Syracuse University basketball program, and because the program and the institution itself are so powerful locally, he should forget about what happened to him,"

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Mr. Davis repeatedly told that they couldn’t investigate because the Statute of Limitations had expired…it had nothing to do with Fine’s status.

They have to prove that te abuse was real, and that they are not considered public figures despite going on ESPN (they do this by proving that prior investigations by the Syracuse PD and Syracuse University didn’t do their due diligence in the investigation and they only way to move forward was by going public).

Apparently this is a pretty interesting case, and while it’s a long shot that they prove all of the above, there’s the possibility they may legitimately have a defamation case against Boeheim or what he said. I’d like to put the disclaimer that I got the above info from my Dad, who’s not a lawyer but who’s specialty is first amendment law and how it applies to the media, so even though I think he’s got it right, there may be some lawyer-y thing he doesn’t know.

But they do have a point. Jim B might not exactly be “King of Syracuse” like Wang is implying, but the chances of being able to select a totally impartial jury from Onondoga county are slim to none.

That being said, they really need to stop pretending as if they’re actually going to take this to trial anyway. Everyone knows its not going there.
