Q&A: Duke Lacrosse Law Suits?

Question by Mr: Duke Lacrosse Law Suits?

I see they are filing yet another law suit. Anyone else asking when a suit against Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is going to be filed ? I’ve seen videotape of these two saying the three were rapist and no trial was necessary to prove that to the black community. Here is a quote from an article that bases the latest suit on public statements by others associated with the case. “… made public statements to smear the lacrosse players…”, the lawsuit said.

Your thoughts on whether Jackson and Sharpton should be sued for slander ? Look at the video for yourself before answering they did nothing wrong ! They are doing the same thing in Jena LA right now…

Berkley Prime Crime Announces the Forthcoming Release of Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels by Mary Stanton

Berkley Prime Crime announces the forthcoming release of Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels by Mary Stanton. Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels will be available nationwide in December 2008.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 22, 2008 — Berkley Prime Crime announces the forthcoming release of Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels by Mary Stanton. Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels will be available nationwide in December 2008.

In Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels (Berkley Prime Crime, ISBN: 978-0425-224984, .99) Stanton introduces Brianna “Bree” Winston-Beaufort. Twenty-eight years old and fresh out of Duke law school, Bree, the oldest daughter of a wealthy, eccentric South Carolina family, is fed up with the loving but stifling interference of her parents and siblings. Determined to build a law practice on her own terms, Bree packs up a U-Haul and moves to Savannah, Georgia.

From the moment she arrives in Savannah, Bree is thrust into a whirlwind of activity. From finding an office to hiring staff, there’s a lot to be done in preparation for her firm’s grand opening. She’s suspiciously lucky to find the ideal office space – a tiny, early 19th century house tucked away in the back streets of the Historic Landmark District – perfect but for the fact that it’s located in the middle of a neglected cemetery.

Despite a series of curious obstacles, Bree, with the help of her loyal and intuitive canine companion Sasha, finally manages to open Beaufort & Company for business. When she lands her first client, Bree’s excitement quickly turns to dismay when she realizes the nature of the case. Liz Overshaw wants to sue the estate of her dead partner, Benjamin “Blackheart” Skinner. The cause of action? Liz claims Skinner has told her he was murdered and demands that Bree finds out who did it.

When her staff convinces her to take on the case, Bree finds herself in the middle of a terrifying hunt on behalf of this revenge-seeking ghost. In the course of this case, Bree learns the uncomfortable truth: she is the temporal defender of those dead souls who want to appeal their sentences to the circles of heaven and hell.

If Bree thought her family was meddlesome, heaven help her. As founder of the highly unusual Beaufort & Company, this plucky but reluctant heroine is getting off to one hell of a start.

According to Madelyn Alt, best-selling author of No Rest for the Wiccan, “Spooky Southern charm and a wonderfully inventive approach to the afterlife with a celestial twist makes Mary Stanton’s Defending Angels a real stand-out. Brava!”

Mary Stanton divides her time between an 850-head goat farm in upstate New York, and West Palm Beach, Florida. Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels is her thirty-third novel. Beaufort & Company: Defending Angels will be available where better books are sold on December 2, 2008.
