104. Well, good
If she wins the criminal case there would have to be some pretty damn compelling evidence that she was indeed raped by the accused, in which case, I hope she gets every damn penny that can be had out of them and/or any other entity proven to be at fault.

However, given the amount of jail sentence the accused players would get if they were found guilty and how difficult it would be for them to get any kind of a decent job if they get out of jail before twenty years is up, I'm not seeing any kind of pot of gold here.

I'm also not seeing any pot of gold being won from the school since it would have to be proven that the school condoned the party, condoned the strippers, and condoned the players abusing the strippers... good luck with that.

Somehow I just don't think the possibility of garnishing the paychecks of what two prisoners earn making license plates or whatever two convicted rapists are able to earn once they finally get out of jail and the slimest of slim possibility that Duke would be found to be at fault is a real big compelling reason to make up a rape story for money.

Let's not forget if you're going to argue that she made up the story for whatever money could be won in a civil suit she would have to have been targeting Duke to begin with before she told anyone she was raped... and in order to believe that, you'd also have to believe that she came up with the idea from the time whatever happened at the party to piss her off to the time she said she was raped while in a seriously impaired state (which would make her even smarter than any of us since she would have come up with that idea in about an hour while seriously impaired when none of us did in weeks while sober). Now if you seriously believe she's that much of a brilliant genius of a stripper who already knew she'd have Johnnie Cochran's plaintiff attorney-clone to represent her in a civil suit, I've got some of George W. Bush's bellybutton lint to sell you for 3.5 million dollars... cashier's check only please.
